Critics' reviews
  • "This terrifyingly beautiful movie blends metaphor and stark social commentary"
  • "It's a noble, ambitious failure, but a failure nonetheless."
  • "Beloved is for those who want substance from a movie, and don't mind facing uncomfortable truths in the process."
  • 2Jonathan Demme's potent adaptation of Morrison's novel may be substantial, but it is also engrossing, a movie that plays at times like a combination of 'Gone With The Wind”'and 'The Exorcist.'"
