Hallelujah Ratings & Reviews
Baltimore Afro-American
Ralph Matthews
Surely no dissenting voice could be raised against the singing.
Harrison's Reports
P.S. Harrison
The characters seem to be real human beings... and the action creates the illusion that it is real life unfolded, not a make-believe; ones attention is held fairly tight in the first one-third and very tight in the remainder.
California Eagle
John E. Prowd
It is good! And Mr. King Vidor and the M. G. M. Studios are to be commended for their courage in affording BLACK TALENT an opportunity to portray its ability before a misinformed public in HALLELUJAH!
TIME Magazine
TIME Staff
Vidor's skill as a picturemaker is enough alone to make Hallelujah one of the best films of the year.
New York Times
Mordaunt Hall
A most impressive audible film.
The New Masses
Emjo Basshe
[What] follows: a plot which is jerky, muddy, full of sounds one expects from senile and ailing phonograph records.
Variety
Variety Staff
Vidor's strict adherence to realism is so effective at times it is stark and uncanny.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
The inventive director King Vidor reeceived a well-deserved Oscar nomination for making MGM's first all-black feature, shot on locations and later dubbed for sound.
Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews
Dennis Schwartz
It's best looked at as an historical curiosity that gives one an idea of the African-Americans beginnings in the Hollywood movie before even the race films.
TV Guide
TV Guide Staff
Vidor elicited performances from the group as good as any you might see in a seasoned troupe. Even today, more than half a century later, this film is not dated.
Combustible Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
Vidor's gaze can be condescendingly paternal.
Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
John Beifuss
A milestone on the road that led from Stepin Fetchit to Sidney Poitier to Spike Lee...
