Critics' reviews

"Unfortunately, the waste of artistic possibilities dwarfs the human wreckage - and the human salvage - in Freedomland."

Michael Sragow: The New Yorker
"An unexpectedly troubling crime thriller."

J.R. Jones: Chicago Reader
"First-rate actors bail out second-rate directors all the time, and Freedomland serves as the latest example"

Chicago Tribune
"Moore doesn't just act. She goes on the attack, embracing the kind of lower-rung-of-the-middle-class role that actresses from Jodie Foster to Meryl Streep have long savored."

Owen Gleiberman: Entertainment Weekly
"Strong acting is one of the film's hallmarks. It has been a while since Samuel L. Jackson has given a performance with this much intensity."

James Berardinelli: ReelViews
"[It] tries to tell too many stories in too little time."

Maitland McDonagh: TV Guide
"Its focus--the children--are not even onscreen very much. But their ghosts are everywhere, and the pain of the film is primal."

Vulture
"The film is, above all, a moving portrait of hurting souls, brought to life in compelling performances."

Sheri Linden: The Hollywood Reporter
