Village Voice

Our eager-beaver heroine suffers the kids' sarcasm, fails to earn their respect by bringing in a Tupac tape, then wins them over in a crucial scene that, fact-based or not, rings as false as anything in Dangerous Minds.

Apollo Guide

Worthwhile because of its honesty, because it tells a true story that's worth telling, and because Hilary Swank and company have done it so well.

The movie benefits from an interesting subject and good acting, I just wish it were more focused and deep.

Square, sincere, and proud of it.

Nick's Flick Picks

Ironically, the film features almost zero teaching. Despite much pedagogical posturing, it doesn't teach us much, either.

AV Club

Thanks to LaGravenese's empathetic writing and direction, and Swank's titanic force of will, Freedom Writers' unabashed earnestness proves unexpectedly powerful.

While it is, like its genre brethren, inspiring and uplifting, Freedom Writers glosses over so much material that it makes the process look too easy.

Rolling Stone

Corny? You bet. And worse when the plot veers into the glitz of a Dangerous Minds and the sappiness of a TV After School Special. But the movie, which Swank helped produce by using her clout as a two-time Oscar winner, gets to you.

Freedom Writers is another exceptional teacher scenario not so different from the norm.

Murphy's Movie Reviews

Is this film formulaic? Yes. Does it accomplish what it set out to do? Yes. ... It's certainly not a perfect movie but it does offer many pleasures.

Spectrum (St. George, Utah)

A richly rewarding film experience that rises to the top of its genre.

Christian Science Monitor

Engaging but clichéd inspirational drama set during the time of the 1992 race riots in Los Angeles. On some level, just about any movie featuring never-say-die teachers is effective.
