Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Neither the film's smug white bigots nor its uniformly noble blacks are well served by such oversimplification.
– Janet Maslin,
New York Times,
1 Jan 2000
rotten:
Rosewood is startling, infuriating, painful history played out as a not-very-satisfying, overly ambitious and overlong movie.
– Peter Stack,
San Francisco Chronicle,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
The need to bear witness against atrocity, to testify that something wicked this way came, is the powerful drive that animates Rosewood, the story of an American tragedy so horrific no one talked about it for more than half a century.
– Kenneth Turan,
Los Angeles Times,
14 Feb 2001
fresh:
Although it increasingly succumbs to a tendency toward conventional movie heroics, John Singleton's fourth film tells a story of rare interest and tragedy...
– Todd McCarthy,

18 Oct 2008
fresh:
Rhames' gravity and grace, Voight's pinched anguish as he wills himself to do right, the moving work of actors like Don Cheadle and Esther Rolle do much to redeem this film for human if not historical reality.
– Richard Schickel,
