Rating: 3/5 --
Not so much a drama as a kind of protracted educational video, the message driven home by a soupily emotional score and repeated flashbacks, sometimes in slo-mo, to Mandela's golden memories of the past, bathed in sunlight.

London Evening Standard
While Elba is in top form when reenacting Mandela's exciting oratory power more than anywhere else, his long walk is here relayed with a taken-for-grantededness, confusing sincerity with brevity.

Reading about the South African leader will provide deeper understanding; to do audio/video dramatic justice to Mandela and his story, a miniseries is probably in order.

Rating: 3.5/5 --
Overall, Mandela: A Long Walk to Freedom is determined to celebrate the man through film and the lead performances are impressive, but its slightly overlong running time and inconsistent pacing makes it feel like a very slow walk to freedom.

Flick Feast
4 stars out of 5 -- This is a handsome and confident adaptation of the great man’s autobiography, using sharp snapshots to create an emotional through-line.

Rating: 6.5/10 --
It feels a bit unbalanced, but it's a largely forgivable oversight, considering the atrocities committed (the brutality of which is handled tastefully and respectfully).

[A] respectful biopic...[with] the superb performance Idris Elba in the title role.
