The Liberation of L.B. Jones Ratings & Reviews
Mister Arn
May 16, 2025
This movie is shocking as intended in its denigration and humiliation, which makes it difficult to watch.
National Review
Armond White
It's a revelatory example of how post-Sixties Hollywood liberalism evolved.
New Pittsburgh Courier
Diane Perry
Attempts to enlighten, educate, and inform, become bogged down in the rhetorical nonsense of a seemingly contrived situation, never justified, throughout the film, which leaves the viewer wondering if anyone involved is at all serious.
The New Yorker
Richard Brody
The film is sufficiently confrontational, its incidents sufficiently agonizing and infuriating, to reflect back at viewers a frank, bitter, and outraged political diagnosis.
Los Angeles Free Press
Shelby Sankore
This movie was long overdue. Consequently, it may not have the socially redeeming impact it would have had a decade ago - despite some superb acting, especially by Lee J. Cobb, Roscoe Lee Browne and Yaphet Kotto.
Variety
Variety Staff
Unfortunately, not much more than a... sexploitation film.
New York Times
Vincent Canby
I must say I wasn't bored by it, just depressed.
