Wesley Lovell

“Beloved” is easily one of the year’s best films. An emotionally intense motion picture.

It's a daring and provocative collection of ideas and heart that needed to be better, but still has something going for it.

Alison Macor

Beloved stumbles a bit during its first half-hour. The narrative smooths itself out, however, and finds a groove that makes the remaining 145 minutes barely noticeable. More important, the length proves absolutely essential in conveying Sethe's story.

The result is an extraordinary film that is always hypnotically watchable, even as it presents the audience with scenes of harrowing pain.

Eleanor O'Sullivan

Demme is the right choice to direct Toni Morrison's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel: He brings to the movie his humanism, his fascination with nature and the inexplicable, and his respect for actors. As Sethe, Winfrey has rare grace and strength.
