Enough cannot be said for how refreshing it is to see characters like these relate, interact, and grow with one another on screen. Go to Full Review
Sheri Linden The Hollywood Reporter Feb 27, 2016
Suitably low-key but sometimes under-realized, this drama is fueled by its working-class milieu and a heart-wrenching performance by Hill Harper. Go to Full Review
Martin Tsai Los Angeles Times Feb 25, 2016
The film feels coolly detached because the story and characters are underdeveloped. Go to Full Review
Andrew Parker That Shelf Sep 6, 2019
Oliver never backs away from difficult subject matter (semi-autobiographical, at that) and it's positively gut-wrenching to watch. Go to Full Review
Stephen Saito Moveable Fest Nov 22, 2018
So finely and honestly observed for much of its running time, the confidence doesn't seem to quite be there to let the film's most dramatic moments work on their own power without musical or editorial augmentation. Go to Full Review

1982 is a strong debut feature with several brilliant scenes that ought to believe in itself a bit more. Go to Full Review

Finn G May 13, 2018 This movie is very emotional. I give it the top ranking, because the acting in the movie is real and raw. It's a hard, sad story line. But the emotion, strength, character, and what seems like transparency in Hill Harper makes the movie. See more
Rey G Feb 21, 2018 It was an okay movie, but there are at least 4 scenes where the actors have snot and mucus running out of their noses that really distracts from the moment...All I could picture was the director saying "Yeah, let it drip--it helps make the scene super-realistic!" When in reality--it just made me nauseous and totally ruined the scenes.... See more
