Critics Consensus

Sound of Freedom is an effective and suspenseful call to action against human trafficking, yet not free of issues in its depiction of the sensitive subject matter.

Sound of Freedom is a powerful film with strong performances and an important message.

Tara Brady

Irish Times

It’s refreshingly unaffected. The storytelling is routine. It warrants neither its hard-core disciples nor its worst enemies. Ignore the dishonest huffing and puffing.

Rated: 3/5

Wendy Ide

Observer (UK)

A thunderously crass and manipulative movie that is hampered by erratic pacing, pantomime bad guys and an overfondness for shots of Caviezel weeping God-fearing, manly tears.

Rated: 2/5

Kevin EG Perry

Empire Magazine

Jim Caviezel is a one-man scourge of child predators in this well-meaning thriller that doesn’t entirely deserve to be written off as culture-war propaganda.

Rated: 3/5

Loud and Clear Reviews

It’s directed remarkably and delicately, it’s acted powerfully, and it tells a story that’s simple but very easy to get invested in. But when you hold it up to factual scrutiny, the waters become grayer.

Rated: 3.5/5

Film Focus Online

Overall, Sound of Freedom is politically charged - it’s trying to shed light on a very real world-wide issue but due to lack of character development, bad acting and long run time it might fail to entertain and engage you as a viewer.

Rated: 2.5/5

John Serba

Decider

And yet, for a film about a man engaging in precarious subterfuge among deep-jungle guerilla traffickers, it’s weirdly boring, its tension and intensity diluted by cornball overtures... and Caviezel’s long, slow, brooding stares.

Very interesting movie. Made my husband and I rethink how freely we are with our children … makes us want to keep them connected at the hip.

I thought the movie was very well done. The topic is a tough one but people should be aware of it. The real story is even more unbelievable but worth the listen. I heard some of it when I was watching an episode of Timcast on YouTube. I think this movie deserved to be in more theaters just like City of Dreams which just came out. Unfortunately, City of Dreams is in less theaters around me so I may not get to see it due to the restrictions of showing locations and showing times.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

A wonderful About faith and the realities Child sex Trafficking. I recommend a stress ball and tissues. Because this movie will make you mad and it will make you cry, but it's worth seeing?
