Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Distant and obvious, it takes a story with many angles and reduces its edges, becoming a glorified TV movie.

rotten:
Despite the marquee names and their obvious talent, the film feels like a made-for-TV movie.

rotten:
"Winnie Mandela'' really stumbles when it comes to depicting the couple's painful separation, which the film suggests resulted more from politics than Winnie's infidelity.

fresh:
It would have benefited the film if Roodt had been as bold with the mechanics of his storytelling as he is with his inclusion of the title character's less savory moments. But its strengths, particularly the two lead performances, far outweigh its flaws.

rotten:
This biopic is part hagiography, part expose, and gravely incoherent.
