Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
Tillman is tremendously skilled at bridging the vast shifts in tone.

fresh:
Soul Food serves up family melodrama-cum-comedy that's tasty and satisfying, if not particularly profound or original.
– Godfrey Cheshire,

fresh:
The steaming platters of fried catfish, macaroni and cheese, sweet corn bread, and black-eyed peas that appear early and often in writer-director George Tillman Jr.'s sentimental family drama should be listed in the credits as costars.
– Lisa Schwarzbaum,

rotten:
Soul Food aims to be a banquet of feelings, but mostly it serves up tripe.
– Richard Corliss,

rotten:
An overt desire to please often leaves Tillman relying on force-feeding techniques.
