Critics Consensus

To Kill a Mockingbird is a textbook example of a message movie done right -- sober-minded and earnest, but never letting its social conscience get in the way of gripping drama.

Peck's performance, in tortoiseshell glasses and a cream linen suit, is mesmerizing and serious.

"To Kill a Mockingbird" relates the Cult of Childhood to the Negro Problem with disastrous results.

Sydney Morning Herald

Gregory Peck stays beautifully within the character of the bespectacled, widowed man, but with its episodes unevenly joined, the script is too repetitive and long.

Allan Morrison

Jet Magazine

A moving, mature and socially responsible production which emphatically reveals the power and promise latent in Hollywood and made visible only when its unique resources are properly used.

Keith & the Movies

It’s a multifaceted story that’s told with a great visual and technical style and that isn’t ashamed to address the deep-rooted problems of that day.

Rated: 4.5/5

Anton Bitel

BFI

After the film's pivotal court case is over, a coda takes place on one long October night, in which all the film's themes of crime, prejudice and scapegoating come together in a moment of autumnal horror.
