Critics Consensus: A potent drama that is as socially important today as when it was made, The Grapes of Wrath is affecting, moving, and deservedly considered an American classic.

Reviews

Sunday Times (UK)

Dilys Powell

The Grapes of Wrath is not just a film, not just a tragedy, not just a social indictment even; it is an experience; it is history unfolding like a terrible fungus; it is America.

Everyone who can will surely see this, as it will be the most talked about spectacle of the season, everywhere. [Full review in Spanish]

The Grapes Of Wrath deserves to be remembered and revered because, sadly, it's as relevant today as it was in 1940.

A stunning book. A heartfelt film.

With little action, no special effects, and plenty of straightforward dramatic suffering, it's a tough watch for anyone accustomed to storytelling full of small wins.
