Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
A square, uninventive, but detailed and stirring bio-pic devoted to the two years in an athlete's life that changed a nation.
– David Denby,
New Yorker,

rotten:
So 66 years after Robinson became the first black major league baseball player, here we are with 42, which has been made with such reverence for Robinson's importance that Robinson is barely there.
– Wesley Morris,
Grantland,
6 Jan 2014
fresh:
The style of the film, lush and traditional, is nothing special, but the takeaway, a daily struggle for dignity, is impossibly moving.
– Joshua Rothkopf,

fresh:
It's not easy to play a stoic, but Boseman anchors the movie, and when he smiles, 42, already such a warm story of such cold times, gets even brighter.
– Mary F. Pols,
TIME Magazine,

fresh:
A dramatization of what Robinson did and what it required, 42 will not disappoint.
