Critic Reviews

Ty Burr

The film is at its most quietly powerful, though, when telling the story of a group of African-American high school kids who took their discontent to the highest court in the land. Read full review

David Sterritt

Straightforward and informative, but overlong and repetitious. Read full review

Nathan Rabin

At once inspirational and deeply depressing, With All Deliberate Speed, directed by "Hoop Dreams" producer Peter Gilbert, is too candid and forthright about the current state of race relations to allow for the sort of cheery, unambiguous uplift favored by civil-rights documentaries.

Robert K. Elder

As a document of his history, it's breathtaking, inspiring stuff. As an overlong documentary, it still manages to be inspiring, but also an uphill viewing experience. Read full review

J.R. Jones

Gilbert would have done well to stick with these witnesses; instead his History Channel-type video presents a dutiful overview of the Brown case. Read full review

Dave Kehr

Mr. Gilbert wants a movie with both a golden glow and a corrosive center, something he has not quite achieved here. Read full review

Ken Ringle

Misses almost every opportunity to break new ground on the issue. Read full review
