If you don't like this, we can't be friends.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Blistering performances.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Listen, there's nothing wrong with changing a few things in an adaptation of a book, but really? If you haven't read the book, but you seen the movie, you're probably thinking "oh this is a pretty good movie", but if you've ready the book, get read for a dissapointment. The acting is good, but it's not entirely faithful to the book and that's what is bothering me. This movie is definitely not bad, it is watchable, but it is mediocre in my mind.

This is my very favorite book. Cliched, I know, but it's a classic for a reason. I read it freshman year of high school and immediately fell in love with the story and the characters. We were meant to watch the movie after reading the book, but we didn't get around to it, and at the time, I was glad. At the time, my experience had led me to believe that movie adaptations of good books are rarely good enough to live up to my expectations, and nearly 10 years later, I still believe that when it comes to most books. But after having to watch this movie in a film class in college, I was forced to admit that this is not always the case. This movie is flawless. It perfectly captures the tone and spirit of the book, the casting was absolutely perfect, the score is amazing and well timed, the emotions are real and vivid. This deserves all the accolades it gets and many many more. I only wish I had seen it earlier. While the book continues to be something I come back to time and time again, this is a rare case when I actually feel comfortable watching the movie instead of rereading the book if I want to save time. It's (almost) just as good. It certainly comes closer than any other movie ever did to capturing the subtle perfection of a novel. There's a reason that this is one of the few movies that is this old and Hollywood hasn't yet tried to remake it. I hope they never do.

This movie doesn't need another review but leaving this here just for myself and the future. Wow. I read this book in 2016 and I can't believe it took me two years to watch the movie. The book became a favorite as soon as I finished it.This may be one of the best adaptations I've ever seen. I just love when they include the exact lines from the book. It warms my heart.The only thing that disappointed me was the lack of Calpurnia and her relationship with Jem and Scout and the lack of the final phrase of the book, which was a greatway to end it all. Even knewing what happen I got emotional and got chills while watching it. I will watch it again in the future and definitely re-read the book.

The most beautiful thing about To Kill a Mockingbird is undoubtfully the cinematography. Shot in black and white, this masterpiece in film noir looks absolutely gorgious. Debt and shadows, compositions and sharpness, I watched in awe.As for the story, in my opinion it took too long before the black man drama began, and it wasn't very good embedded in the movie. The acting is superb, by all members of the cast. I've never seen such a loving father for his children, very moving. Yet, the subject of racial discrimination addressed in the early 1960s is something ashonishing. Robert Mulligan has been extrememly brave to put the novel into a movie. That's what makes this movie American history.
