Fruitvale Station Movie Review: | |
| Fruitvale Station's wrenching power lies in the specificity of its storytelling and the ordinary human warmth of the world it conjures. Dana Stevens-Slate From the moment the arrest begins, the film is blunt and stunning, a completely absorbing, protracted nightmare. Nora Caplan-Bricker-The New Republic Although Coogler surely wants his movie to serve as a weapon against racially charged police brutality, he's smart enough, and sensitive enough, to know that this is above all a human tragedy -- and not a political rallying point. Peter Rainer-Christian Science Monitor Coogler's film is shaky, sometimes literally slipping out of focus even as its own vision remains resolutely blinkered. Stephen Whitty-Newark Star-Ledger "Fruitvale Station" is a potent dramatic chronicle of contemporary American life, crackling with energy and possibility, made with the cooperation of Grant's mother and girlfriend. Andrew O'Hehir-Salon.com In the end, what is the meaning of the film? Kyle Smith-New York Post The actual events already serve as a parable of race in America, but Coogler's dramatization does them justice. Nicolas Rapold-Film Comment Magazine Galvanizing, tense gritty-indie, brilliantly acted by Jordan and Spencer. Very much worth watching even though the too-neat, manipulative screenplay undercuts it artistically. Caryn James-James on screenS "Fruitvale Station" is about what we can imagine when we cast our gaze across the longstanding divides in this persistently, cancerously segregated American society. Steven Boone-RogerEbert.com A noble effort to contextualize the life of a man who would become famous for the way that he died. Ethan Alter-Television Without Pity Raw, real and memorable. Clay Cane-BET.com Ryan Coogler does a remarkable thing with his first feature film. He makes it look like he has been in the business as a director for years. Robin Clifford-Reeling Reviews In its modest way, the film reminds us that nobody's life is really that special -- but that we all still deserve better than what happened to Oscar Grant. Tim Grierson-Paste Magazine ...an emotionally devastating feature film debut...Yet for all its mastery of foreshadowing amidst the minutiae of daily life, Coogler and Jordan have sanctified their protagonist just a bit too much to make the film truly great.
