"A rock-solid movie: squarely deliberate, a little long and predictable, but honest and thoughtful enough, precise in its period and locale, with very strong performances."

Variety
Variety"The political moral of the movie is that change happens when the oppressed are nice to their oppressors."
—
The New York Times
