The best overall depiction of Nelson Mandela. He went through various aspects of his life and came out a Nobel Prize Laurate. Sincerely, Michael D. Schell

Fantastic account of the human-rights struggle in South Africa! Idris Elba and Naomi Harris are sensational! Well acted, written and directed!

This engaging docudrama looks into the journey to freedom of Nelson Mandela and chronicles his early life, education, and marriage as well as his 27 years in prison. Superb are the performances of Idris Elba as Mandela and Naomie Harris as…

It is a good example of portraying someone that evolves from many years of working within the law, then resorting to violence to make a point, to realizing that peace was the only way to heal the country's racial wars, over more violence,…

Good movie that traces Mandela's self-absorption and persistence in becoming a high-status, studly lawyer, into a true leader who not only persists but also sacrifices much to bring his nation forward. 27 years of arrest! The prison scenes…

It was a good movie to iniate oneself into all that Mandela went through. A note: Near the beginning, he hits his first wife. I kept thinking...men strive to be free meanwhile some keep their wives "down". However, that is just a…

Pure quintessential hollywood crap. Nelson Mandela's legacy deserves so much better than this unfathomably depraved capitalist propaganda. Read the book!

The movie is truthful and transparently shows Mandela's personality . it shows at one scene that he cheated on his wife and it shows in another scene his mighty power overcoming 27 years in prison to become a president. So you want to…

Although the movie was over two hours long, the content felt compressed. I also felt that Idris Elba was not right for the role. The story of Nelson Mandela and the struggle against apartheid in South Africa is a great one, and I felt it…

There were some weak parts of overall plot development and presentation. BUT Mr. IDRIS ELBA did a magnificient job. (and thats enough for me)

This is nothing more than more MK ULTRA BRAINWASHING for black people worldwide to continue to be the COWARDS that are in real life right now and have always been since the historical slavery days all the way to these modern day slavery…

Long, but gives a good overall view of Mandela's life. Not as entertaining as biopics like Ghandi or Michael Collins, but you get the essence of the man and his vision. I'm also presuming the historical facts are mostly correct. Idris…

I love Mandela but the movie was tedious, with very few scenes of real drama. They could have done so much more with the material that it was a real disappointment.

Brilliant performance by Idris Elba. Great cinematography. It will make you think about how valuable democracy is. Worth seeing.

It was O.K for a home TV movie. I was entertained and interesting. But it was NOT worth the long library wait or the price to rent from a Red Box. I fast forwarded a lot but not all the way.

This movie was too long and the makeup make Idris Elba look really weird and I'm a fan of the guys work.

I enjoyed this movie and was surprised to find only middling reviews in the press. Idris and Naomie were very good as Nelson and Winnie.

Along came God with Love. Nelson Mandela caught hold of it because it was no ordinary love but extraordinary-for all to witness! This movie surely depicts this well!
