Grufudd is fine, passionate and single-minded, though overly Romantic, and quietly upstaged by the extraordinary Benedict Cumberbatch.

Earnest drama about fervent English abolitionist.
September 22, 2007
Skilfully written and directed, the film is an involving drama, even if it's overly worthy and sentimental.

I'm not sure what was a bigger problem for me, though--that the story jumped around so much, or that the tone did, too.

Amazing Grace proves to be an invaluable history lesson, but a rather boring film.
March 23, 2007
So much to admire and so little to amaze.

It's neither amazing nor graceful.
March 12, 2008
There's a lot of good intentions behind Amazing Grace, but the movie's a bore, swirling into the minutia of antiquated British law.

A good -- and important -- story, not always well told.

Who'd have thought that the most compelling and thoughtful film to be presented during Black History Month would be a formal British import set in 18th century England with men running around in wigs?
March 23, 2007
It is to be hoped that Amazing Grace is not the only, or the last, cinematic celebration of 200th anniversary of abolition, for there are more stories to tell, more imaginatively.

Apted's unexpected crowd-pleaser is inspirational, but also surprisingly entertaining.
