Newsweek
A powerful and provocative film -- not quite a work of art, maybe, but close enough to demand your respectful attention.

The Moving Picture Show
...A genuine sense of consolation....Profoundly moving....Sarandon has never been better...and Penn gives by far his finest performance to date...
Sight and Sound
...Prodigious performances in an unsparing movie....Acting doesn't get much better than this...
Rolling Stone
...[A] moving portrait....Refreshingly de-exoticized...
Premiere
Rating: 4/5 --
Takes us along on the reluctant, difficult, essentially spiritual journey these two unlikely people make together.

Los Angeles Times
Penn and Sarandon in their final moments together achieve a strange transcendence that makes the end of Dead Man Walking sobering and horrifying, yet oddly uplifting.

Product Description:
This acclaimed film traces the relationship between a death-row inmate and the local nun to whom he turns for spiritual guidance in the days leading up to his scheduled execution. Matthew Poncelet (Sean Penn) has been convicted of the rape and murder of two young lovers and is awaiting execution. Susan Sarandon plays Sister Helen Prejean, a nun who has devoted herself to God and to helping the less fortunate. Prejean faces a moral crisis as she tries to reconcile her anti-death penalty views with the truth of Poncelet's actions and the pain felt by the victim's families.
