“Universally moving… one of the most compassionate and truthful of movies…” Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times "Sounder is an outstanding film. Martin Ritt's masterful direction, an excellent adaptation [from William H. Armstrong's novel], and a uniformly terrific cast make this a film which transcends space, race, age and time.” Variety
