Entertainment Reviews:
With SELMA, director Ava DuVernay has created a stirring, often thrilling, uncannily timely drama that works on several levels at once.
Washington Post
The supporting actors bring oomph to their small roles and are dead ringers for their historical counterparts.
Film Comment
Rating: 3.5/5 --
If you don't mind the technical confusion it's a gripping story, and a great credit to DuVernay and co-writer Paul Webb who were unable to use King's original speeches for copyright reasons.

Sydney Morning Herald
4 stars out of 4 -- As King, David Oyelowo is a revelation....He channels the essence of his character rather than a dead-on visual interpretation.
Roger Ebert
4 stars out of 5 -- A daunting challenge for any actor, Oyelowo rises to the task, in a film that eschews the traditional biopic approach....This is a hugely impressive achievement.
Total Film
Rating: 8/10 --
...offering not only a superbly-realized presentation of a particular series of events, but also a sense of what it meant to live through the historical period in question.

...[I]n zooming in on one moment, director DuVernay and writer Paul Webb really force us to live in the trial by fire that was the American South in 1965.
