Critics Consensus

The 24th might have told its fact-based story more fully, but despite its flaws, it remains an overall compelling -- and woefully overdue -- reckoning with history.

I wish it took some more chances, but it is solidly made.

Solid, but not necessarily more than that.

"The 24th" means well, and while it, sadly, mostly elicits a shrug, what the film lacks in pizzaz it more than makes up for in educational value, for better or worse.

It’s handling of racial and social issues is deft, and its attempt to parallel the injustices going on today is commendable (if not entirely successful).

With gorgeous performances from this rich cast, the ensemble functions to represent interactions of romance, comradery, transformation, and, ultimately, personhood.

The 24th's relevant slice of history deserves better than the film's stale History Channel treatment.

This movie is a reminder of OUR US HISTORY. If this movie bothered you, YOU are STILL part of the problem. It’s sad to read some of the reviews for this movie.

VERY difficult film to watch but needs to be watched! Truly horrible how badly humans can be to another human because they are different.

Very well-done about a story that needs to be told, the acting was first class.

Just because a story is film-worthy doesn't mean it should be made into a film. "The 24th" is too doom and gloom to really enjoy. For me, seeing it only reinforced how hateful and cruel humans can be.

A decent film on a real event. Good acting, smooth plot, but nothing incredible either. Raises questions on what is the best way to change a corrupt and rotten system.
