Vidor's skill as a picturemaker is enough alone to make Hallelujah one of the best films of the year.

A most impressive audible film.

Vidor's strict adherence to realism is so effective at times it is stark and uncanny.

Surely no dissenting voice could be raised against the singing.

The characters seem to be real human beings... and the action creates the illusion that it is real life unfolded, not a make-believe; ones attention is held fairly tight in the first one-third and very tight in the remainder.

It is good! And Mr. King Vidor and the M. G. M. Studios are to be commended for their courage in affording BLACK TALENT an opportunity to portray its ability before a misinformed public in HALLELUJAH!

Audience Reviews for Hallelujah

May 01, 2016It is admirable that Vidor wanted to show "the Southern Negro as he is" in this historically important, all-black musical film intended for a general audience as an authentic representation of black culture in the 1920s, but it is also unfortunately very condescending and artificial.Carlos M Super Reviewer
