Uptight Reviews
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
There's no backsliding, toward a conciliatory moderate conclusion. The passions and beliefs of black militants are presented head-on, with little in the way of comfort for white liberals.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
It doesn't transfer well when changed from Irish revolutionists to black revolutionists.
Screen Slate
Caroline Golum
"Uptight places Dassin's courageous refusal to 'name names' and Mayfield's legacy as an outspoken crusader as symmetrical lives on two sides of the racial divide."
The Nation
Robert Hatch
Dassin, if he was issuing a warning, should have been explicit, and not allowed the viewer to wonder whether the implication he senses are no more than ineptitudes of presentation.
