Savannah Reviews

Jackie K. Cooper
The true story of Ward Allen, a man whose life was not interesting enough to be the basis for a film.
New York Daily News
Jordan Hoffman
"Savannah" should win some sort of award for most amount of times you'll ask, "They roped that guy into this turkey, too?"
New York Post
Farran Smith Nehme
This is a Southern "Downton Abbey," minus the loopy plot turns and wisecracks that make that series so addictive.
New York Times
Neil Genzlinger
The film's tale ends up being less rich than its lovely Georgia settings.
RogerEbert.com
Godfrey Cheshire
A movie that's essentially only of local interest.
Tribune News Service
Roger Moore
A bit on the bland side, but as a plus, Jim Caviezel cracks his first on-screen smile in over a decade.
Slant Magazine
Tina Hassannia
The film is impossible to take seriously as a commemoration of Moultrie's life or Allen's prolific status because of its plethora of contrivances.
NYC Movie Guru
Avi Offer
Strong performances and exquisite, breathtaking cinematography barely compensate for a pedestrian, underwhelming screenplay.
The Playlist
Kevin Jagernauth
Savannah does attempt to tell the story of the friendship of those two accomplished men, but does so in a manner that is so astonishingly tone deaf, confused and narrowly focused...
The Dissolve
Andrew Lapin
Savannah's backstory may sound inscrutable to the world outside Southern Georgia social clubs; that's because it is.
Village Voice
Nick Schager
The story overflows with reverence but is drastically short on passion or suspense ...
IONCINEMA.com
Nicholas Bell
Some beautifully photographed landscape shots are the only aspect of interest in this bewilderingly bland exercise.
New York Amsterdam News
Lapacazo Magrira Sandoval
Savannah is a great family movie choice... It stresses the value of friendship despite society's pressures. It's also directed with style and genuine affection, making every frame as unforgettable as the last.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
Despite some fine performances, the film has difficulty finding a consistent tone, and the well-intentioned script emphasizes melodrama and sentimentality.
Epoch Times
Ian Kane
It's also a well-told movie that has to do with friendships across color lines, something that was a lot more common in the Old South than most Hollywood productions would have you believe.
