Dead Man Walking Ratings & Reviews
Newsweek
David Ansen
It's a strong film, made stronger by two terrific performances. Penn's acting has ruthless honesty.
Variety
Emanuel Levy
Tim Robbins's balanced yet uncompromising approach refuses to judge any of the characters, including the killer (superlatively played by Sean Penn), instead giving each a fair chance to present their case with dignity and respect.
Washington Post
Hal Hinson
An intelligent, balanced, devastating movie.
Los Angeles Times
Kenneth Turan
Takes us along on the reluctant, difficult, essentially spiritual journey these two unlikely people make together.
Detroit News
Susan Stark
It will send you home with more than a few long thoughts.
USA Today
Mike Clark
is the finest, least compromised film about capital punishment ever advancing a gently stated 'anti' view but going the extra 100 miles to give victims their due.
TIME Magazine
Richard Schickel
Its final moments leave us awash in emotion.
New York Times
Janet Maslin
Penn gives an astonishing performance and delivers exactly what Dead Man Walking needs.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Absorbing, surprising, technically superb and worth talking about for a long time afterward
The New Republic
Stanley Kauffmann
The picture is cloudy in intent.
Film.com
Sean P. Means
A thought-provoking drama not to be missed or dismissed.
Film.com
Jonathan F. Richards
Don't go unadvised, and don't plan anything too frivolous for right afterwards. But do go.
Film.com
Keith Simanton
Sarandon, who won the Oscar for Best Actress for this role, is superb, but Penn is extraordinary.
Film.com
Bruce Reid
Robbins and Susan Sarandon, have crafted a film that transcends its own political message by a scrupulous attention to detail.
Film.com
John Hartl
A daring stand and a daring, uncompromised film.
San Francisco Chronicle
Edward Guthmann
Acting rarely gets better than this.
Washington Post
An extremely affecting experience
Film.com
Tom Keogh
Robbins, who also wrote the script, is no Truman Capote, let alone a Victor Hugo, and his film trips up constantly on indecisiveness about what it is he's trying to say.
