Rating: C- --
This biopic is part hagiography, part expose, and gravely incoherent.

Orange County Register
The audacity and determination of its subject doesn't find its way into this shallow and superficial biopic.

Rating: B --
Winnie Mandela cuts, pastes and sometimes blurs history. However, what it shows is still worth seeing.

Rating: 2/5 --
This saccharine hagiography desires to establish Nelson Mandela's controversial ex-wife as great. It succeeds, somewhat, but boringly, which leaves the truth not served well.

Rating: 2.5/4 --
The end credits song's beautifully delivered, full-throttle emotional bombast only serves as a dismaying reminder of how much the film otherwise lacks any similar passion and soul.

"Winnie Mandela'' really stumbles when it comes to depicting the couple's painful separation, which the film suggests resulted more from politics than Winnie's infidelity.

Rating: 2/5 --
Distant and obvious, it takes a story with many angles and reduces its edges, becoming a glorified TV movie.
