"A rock-solid movie: squarely deliberate, a little long and predictable, but honest and thoughtful enough, precise in its period and locale, with very strong performances."

Variety
Variety"The political moral of the movie is that change happens when the oppressed are nice to their oppressors."
—
The New York Times
The New York Times"No doubt the world needs more paeans to tolerance, but movies as ineffectual as "The Best of Enemies" feel profoundly inadequate to the task."

Screen Daily
Screen Daily"[W]hile it lacks the ambition to turn its obvious plot into a film that feels new, it also avoids the pitfalls of moral smugness and stereotyping."
