"A movie making all the right noise" - IMT
RATINGS AND COMMENTS
"I am speechless in a way that no film has made me. Please please please go see Fruitvale Station
"assionate and powerfully acted, Fruitvale Station serves as a celebration of life, a condemnation of death, and a triumph for star Michael B. Jordan." 94% - Rotten Tomato General Consensus
"Fruitvale Station sums up Oscar's life, but the act of summing up can tell us only so much, since a young life is still a maze of promise and indecision." Fresh Tomato - David Denby, New Yorker,
"In naturalistic and unforced strokes, he allows Grant to exist as a complex, even contradictory human, inviting the audience simply to sit with his life, his loss and what they both meant." Fresh Tomato - Anna Horanaday, Washington Post
"Fruitvale Station is a gut punch of a movie. By standing in solidarity with Oscar, it becomes an unstoppable cinematic force." Fresh Tomato, 3.5/4 - Peter Traverse, Rolling Stone
"A sad, touching and subtle film." Fresh Tomato, 4/5, 80META - A.O Scott, New York Times,
"Made with assurance and deep emotion, "Fruitvale Station" is more than a remarkable directing debut for 26-year-old Ryan Coogler. It's an outstanding film by any standard." Fresh Tomato, 5/5 - Kenneth Turan, Los Angeles Times
"The movie is the model of decency and respect, and does honor to a life unjustly ended; it offers few surprises but is nonetheless shocking." Fresh Tomato - Richard Brody, New Yorker
