Review For Mumia: Long Distance Revolutionary |
"Mumia" gradually becomes a persuasive attempt to celebrate the content of his character, not the violence that apparently led to his imprisonment. John Hartl-Seattle Times
Vittoria avoids discussing the crime for which Abu-Jamal spent 29 years in solitary confinement on death row, instead tracing the path of a brilliant journalist whose message cannot be silenced. Ronnie Scheib-Variety
The doc is unapologetically one-sided, and spends more time canonizing Abu-Jamal than exploring the murder and trial themselves. V.A. Musetto-New York Post
This film is certainly a bracing change from the usual back-and-forth of the evening news. Neil Genzlinger-New York Times
The case of Mumia Abu-Jamal, the African-American journalist sentenced to die for a 1981 Philadelphia murder charge, gets a juicy, visual but inescapably tilted treatment here. Joe Neumaier-New York Daily News
An obstructive, agitprop style detracts from the important, singularly American story buried in Mumia: Long Distance Revolutionary ... Michelle Orange-Village Voice
This tiresome documentary on activist journalist and convicted murderer Mumia Abu-Jamal buries its subject under waves of gratingly repetitive accolades. Chris Barsanti-Film Journal International
A documentary charting the extraordinary life and work of Mumia Abu-Jamal from his prison cell over the last 30 years. Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice
More hagiography than history. Michael Atkinson-Time Out New York
Purports to tell the true story of the titular imprisoned, controversially outspoken death-penalty opponent, but eventually degenerates into an orgy of congratulation. Kenji Fujishima-Slant Magazine
A reverential biopic that wisely leaves the damning evidence on the back burner in favor of focusing on everything about Mumia Abu-Jamal except what exactly transpired at the corner of 13th and Locust in the wee hours of December 9, 1981. Kam Williams-AALBC.com
