Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
The movie never quite shakes its stiff, studied feel, just as the town of Whistle Stop never stops seeming the quaint creation of an art director.
– Dave Kehr,
Chicago Tribune,
2 Jun 2014
fresh:
Fried Green Tomatoes is a case of a film acted with such skill and conviction that glaring problems of narrative, pace and structure seem like minor slips.
– Desmond Ryan,
Philadelphia Inquirer,
2 Jun 2014
fresh:
Directed and co-written by first-timer Jon Avnet, the episodic production manages to capture the fried-tomato flavor of the deep South without becoming too pushy or patronizing about it.
– Jay Boyar,
Orlando Sentinel,
2 Jun 2014
fresh:
When a group of actors this gifted and lively tries so good-naturedly to deliver such an obvious message, the audience is left in the position of trying to stop a tidal wave. You may hate yourself for responding, but you're smothered before you know it.
– John Hartl,
Seattle Times,
2 Jun 2014
rotten:
[A] clunky, fraudulent, yet apparently crowd-pleasing laugh-and-tear-jerker.
– Michael Sragow,
New Yorker,
