Top Critics' Reviews

Fresh: While the story could use a tighter focus, the ensemble is strong and the music makes Cadillac Records worth catching. – Claudia Puig, USA Today, Jul 7, 2010

Fresh: Martin, who also wrote the script, takes liberties with the Chess story, most notably dispensing altogether with Phil Chess. But "Cadillac Records" is such an exhilarating, spirited piece of work that its embellishments and omissions cease to matter. – Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com, Jul 7, 2010

Fresh: A good general rule is that if one performance is good, credit the actor. But if everyone in the movie is doing excellent work, this is no coincidence. This is the product of superior direction. – Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle, Jul 7, 2010

Rotten: There is not one authentic moment of human discourse in the whole movie. – Ben Mankiewicz, At the Movies, Jun 24, 2010
