What to Know

Critics Consensus

As an ordinary coming-of-age drama, Stonewall is merely dull and scattered -- but as an attempt to depict a pivotal moment in American history, it's offensively bad.

It feels like Emmerich couldn't help but make his Stonewall a mashup of My Own Private Idaho and Independence Day. Go to Full Review Alison Willmore BuzzFeed News 11/10/2015
Stonewall is a movie about a pivotal moment in LGBT history as filtered through the perspective of a fictional hunk of Wonder Bread named Danny who steps off a bus from Indiana and right into a central role in the Christopher Street scene.

The Stonewall Riots were a triumph for a marginalized community, but Emmerich fails to convey the significance of the event in any meaningful fashion. The subject matter deserves better, and so do we. Go to Full Review Ben Turner The Pink Lens 09/02/2021

Instead of showing us the real story, Emmerich thought his fictional character was was more interesting. I'd say that's pretty damn arrogant. Go to Full Review Andrew Galdi Movie Bitches 04/29/2020

thiago s @Thiagostone Nov 18 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Aug 28 the whitest of whitewashed. See more Carson P 03/09/2024 I don't see many even knowing of this movies existence and it's probably emmerichs least popular movie but what I've heard from those who saw it i heard it being pretty offensive the dialogue sounds childish and bassically the event was turned into some coming of age story which could have been good considereding the last ones getting Oscar nominated like Belfast and Spielberg fabelmans but this as it's bordering around a real life event of a protest it's kind of not a good combination and the film is barely accurate except with showing the protest scene which the film shines and it has the looks of a good film that can be made for viewing as high drama art but doesn't get close to it and fails at least emmerich did midway which was much better and the main achievement for emmerich to do an awards glory film and earn cinemetic respectability this film on the other hand is not good and is just a missed opportunity C- See more Angelo R 07/31/2023 Manages to "white wash" the roots. But the lead character's story kept my attention. See more georgan g 01/02/2023 The plot attempted to show all the bad experiences the LGBT community members went through before Stonewall. It did this with an easy way for straight viewers to feel empathy. See more steve d 12/11/2022 Not factual enough to satisfy but powerful at times. See more Read all reviews
