Critic Reviews of "The Birth of a Nation (2016)"
The AtlanticOctober 17, 2016Parker's film is at its best when he presents his harrowing story straightforwardly.
New YorkerOctober 10, 2016A seriously damaged and inadequate movie ... its defects reveal traits of character-arrogance, vanity, and self-importance-that exert an unfortunately strong influence on Parker's directorial choices.
Village VoiceOctober 07, 2016If you forgive him enough to see it, The Birth of a Nation offers a troubling tangle of the personal and historical. But above all else it's commercial, an entertainment of purpose and some power.
Washington PostOctober 07, 2016The Birth of a Nation is a flawed but fairly compelling chapter of the American story that powerfully resonates with how that story is playing out today.
Christian Science MonitorOctober 07, 2016The highly charged arena into which this film about America's bloodiest slave revolt arrives gives it a cachet that, in artistic if not sociological terms, it does not really merit.
MTVOctober 07, 2016What if the way to honor Nat Turner is to pay attention to artists who aren't shackled by the Academy's limited definition of what a black Best Picture winner is allowed to discuss?
rec.arts.movies.reviewsApril 23, 2017Nate Parker might well be the next big thing... if he's ever given the chance to work in Hollywood again.
Film InquiryFebruary 19, 2017Jam-packed with debatable arguments, themes, and imagery, The Birth Of A Nation is sure to stir up an emotion - but in an overloaded fashion.
El Pais (Spain)February 17, 2017A revenge maybe just, but unidirectional, in the form of a movie. [Full review in Spanish]
El Mundo (Spain)February 16, 2017Dramatically shocking, it resorts to a bloody hyperrealism that can be understood as documentary rigor but also as an effective and simplistic manipulative mechanism. [Full review in Spanish]
SensacineFebruary 13, 2017A movie made of patches, fragments of other films about southern black slaves, cruel torture scenes, endless humiliations, outraged adolescents and animalized children. [Full review in Spanish]
Independent Online (South Africa)January 20, 2017If you can manage it, you will see that the film is rich with thought-provoking imagery.
