To Kill a Mockingbird

Few films have caught the special feel and rhythms of childhood so well, with such uncondescending warmth and humor. And few bring out more powerfully the themes of anti-racism and the virtues and joys of community and family. [20 Apr 2007, p.C5]

To Kill a Mockingbird is a faithful adaptation of one of the 20th century's most important American works of literature. It is also a masterpiece in its own right. This is one of those rare productions where everything is in place - a superior script, a perfect cast, and a director who has a clear vision and achieves what he sets out to do.

As Mulligan so deftly demonstrates, the story is in the characters, their failings and fragility, their heroism and nobility of spirit. It's in the depiction of heart-breaking cruelty and heart-warming humanity. It's in the innocence of a child's world overshadowed by the evil that adults do.

To Kill A Mockingbird is a product of American realism, and it is a rare and worthy treasure.

Their charming enactments of a father and his children in that close relationship that can occur at only one brief period are worth all the footage of the film.

To Kill a Mockingbird, set in Maycomb, Alabama, in 1932, uses the realities of its time only as a backdrop for the portrait of a brave white liberal.

The movie is part eerie Southern gothic and part Hollywood self-congratulation for its enlightened racial attitudes.

The adaption of one of the most famous books ever written, is nothing short of exceptional. The casting of Peck as Atticus Finch is perfect, The script is as tight as the book and it's impact as profound. Must see

Gregory Peck as Atticus Finch is one of the greatest performances of all time. This character alone is enough to make this filma masterpiece. The remainder of the film is great. Good pacing, acting, and cinematography make this film great.

This movie has been made in a high quality but not for today, for its time. we have more progressed & brighter minds in 21st century & we will never see movies, songs or any social platforms implying issues like the one in this film, this way; we've got more insight about it now. So I found it expired, too direct & boring as a consequence.

This and the book have the same problem and it hurts me to see so many like this movie.
