Entertainment Reviews:
It's length makes watching it more of a commitment than other, but if you're willing to set aside the time, the result is worth it.

Cinemacy
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
It's impossible not to be moved by the brute force of Mandela the man's tragic life.
Entertainment Weekly
Rating: 4/5 --
Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom is a carefully made, respectful, chronological account of what made Mandela who he was and the price he had to pay.

Idris Elba gives a towering performance...
Variety
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.
