Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
One of the year's best films, a rarity in that a play has been successfully transferred to film without having the dialogue seem "written."
– Gene Siskel,
Chicago Tribune,
26 Jan 2015
fresh:
Driving Miss Daisy spans a quarter-century in the intricate relationship of a Southern dowager and her chauffeur, and it is a movie that invites you to appreciate the passage of time in more than one way.
– Desmond Ryan,
Philadelphia Inquirer,
6 Jan 2014
fresh:
Jessica Tandy and Morgan Freeman give exceptional performances
– Owen Gleiberman,
Entertainment Weekly,

fresh:
Freeman and Tandy have their own performer's pride, and that transfers to their characters. Tandy, in particular, is almost astringent in her denial of easy emotion.
– Peter Rainer,
Los Angeles Times,
6 Jan 2014
fresh:
This is a story about people, not politics. And perhaps because we can see the actors in closeup on the screen, that is even truer of the movie than the play.
