Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Until this moment we cannot be certain that the movie is going to employ every cliche of antebellum melodrama.

fresh:
Viewed with fresh eyes, it can credibly be seen as revisionist history of a particularly savage kind.

rotten:
Mandingo is racist trash, obscene in its manipulation of human beings and feelings, and excruciating to sit through.
