Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
The story is timely and powerful, and the performances of Hanks and Washington assure that the characters will not immediately vanish into obscurity.
– James Berardinelli,
ReelViews,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
It's less like a film by Demme than the best of Frank Capra. It is not just canny, corny and blatantly patriotic, but compassionate, compelling and emotionally devastating.
– Rita Kempley,
Washington Post,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
"Philadelphia" mostly succeeds in being forceful, impassioned and moving, sometimes even rising to the full range of emotion that its subject warrants. But too often, even at its most assertive, it works in safely predictable ways.
– Janet Maslin,
New York Times,
20 May 2003
fresh:
Safe and apolitical it may be, but Philadelphia succeeds as a deeply affecting humanist drama.
– Geoff Andrew,
Time Out,
24 Jun 2006
fresh:
[An] extremely well-made message picture about tolerance, justice and discrimination is pitched at mainstream audiences, befitting its position as the first major Hollywood film to directly tackle the disease.
– Todd McCarthy,
