Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Norma Rae is a seriously concerned contemporary drama, illuminated by some very good performances and one, Miss Field's, that is spectacular.
– Vincent Canby,
New York Times,
20 May 2003
fresh:
Nicely performed by a strong cast, especially Field and Leibman, it's often mawkishly soft, but surprisingly touching.
– Geoff Andrew,
Time Out,

fresh:
Norma Rae is that rare entity, an intelligent film with heart.
– Variety Staff,
Variety,
11 Jan 2008
rotten:
Photographed in murky yellows and browns by John Alonzo, this 1979 film is sluggish and vague, trivializing its subject in a wash of unearned sentimentality.
