Review For Won't Back Down
Social-issue movies can have real societal impact. That's why Won't Back Down, which presses a lot of hot buttons, deserves to be taken seriously, and criticized seriously, on its own terms. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor Won't Back Down doesn't wholly make the grade. Bruce Demara-Toronto Star Americans desperately need to have some difficult conversations about the state of public education, but Won't Back Down goes about the task too awkwardly to be helpful or interesting. Connie Ogle-Miami Herald "Won't Back Down" details a bureaucratic process, and yet it plays more like an intense, emotional movie about parents and children. Mick LaSalle-San Francisco Chronicle So didactic that viewers are likely to feel less uplifted than lectured. Ann Hornaday-Washington Post The film makes a serious effort to present the other side's points. Kyle Smith-New York Post 'Dumbing down' a film about educational reform defeats any point; while proficiently made, Won't Back Down's glib feel-good message deserves to fall on deaf ears. Eddie Harrison-The List As terrible as it sounds. Alistair Harkness-Scotsman An altogether crude, melodramatic and unhelpful picture. Philip French-Observer [UK] More anti-union propaganda masquerading as entertainment. -This is London All efforts to add zest to a serious subject fail. Grant Rollings-Sun Online A straight-talking, partisan account about the failings of a broken system and a band of women who argued for better for their children. Joe Walsh-Little White Lies It is well meant, undoubtedly about something that matters, and it bends over backwards not to trash the teachers' unions gratuitously, but amid the attempts at gritty reality, I found the happy-ending imperative unconvincing. Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK] The forces of unionism are mainly pilloried as lazy sell-outs, which is a pity, because a lot of other tangy issues come into play here. Tim Robey-Daily Telegraph Emotionally engaging drama that compensates for its predictability with a pair of terrific performances by Maggie Gyllenhaal and Viola Davis, though it's also a little fuzzy on the actual details. Matthew Turner-ViewLondon Shamelessly manipulative, this propagandist drama purports to champion the democratisation of parents' choice yet is little more than a big, cinematic union bashing stick. -Sky Movies You might find the political tub-thumping behind this cockle-warming drama a tad disconcerting. Andy Lea-Daily Star
