Within Our Gates Reviews
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
Micheaux's films are about murder, racial injustice, and lynchings.
New Yorker
Richard Brody
Micheaux's narrative manner is as daring as his subject matter, with bold flashbacks and interpolations amplifying the story ...
Chicago Reader
Fred Camper
Though the narrative structure is somewhat choppy, director Oscar Micheaux otherwise demonstrates mastery of the silent form, using supple compositions and careful editing to amplify the characters' emotions in a manner that makes sound seem superfluous.
Nick's Flick Picks
Nick Davis
Within Our Gates is full of surprises, following a multitude of characters and plotlines without settling into predictable allegiances.
Time Out Chicago
Michael Glover Smith
The clever intercutting of this climax intentionally unpacks the racist ideology of D.W. Griffith's similarly constructed The Birth of a Nation.
