Critic Reviews for The Rising Place
All Critics (16) | Top Critics (7) | Fresh (2) | Rotten (14)
It is one more celluloid testimonial to the cruelties experienced by Southern blacks as distilled through a Caucasian perspective.
Looks awfully like one long tourist spot for a Mississippi that may never have existed outside of a scriptwriter's imagination.
A not-so-Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood with a hefty helping of Re-Fried Green Tomatoes.
This misty-eyed Southern nostalgia piece, in treading the line between sappy and sanguine, winds up mired in tear-drenched quicksand.
Rice is too pedestrian a filmmaker to bring any edge or personality to The Rising Place that would set it apart from other Deep South stories.
However sincere it may be, The Rising Place never quite justifies its own existence.
