Movie Title : Fruitvale Station
Release Date : Jul 26, 2013 Wide
Mpaa Rating : R Genre Movie :DramaWinner of both the Grand Jury Prize for dramatic feature and the Audience Award for U.S. dramatic film at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, director Ryan Coogler's FRUITVALE STATION follows the true story of Oscar Grant (Michael B. Jordan), a 22-year-old Bay Area resident who wakes up on the morning of December 31, 2008 and feels something in the air. Not sure what it is, he takes it as a sign to get a head start on his resolutions: being a better son to his mother (Octavia Spencer), whose birthday falls on New Year's Eve, being a better partner to his girlfriend Sophina (Melonie Diaz), who he hasn't been completely honest with as of late, and being a better father to Tatiana (Ariana Neal), their beautiful four year-old daughter. Crossing paths with friends, family, and strangers, Oscar starts out well, but as the day goes on, he realizes that change is not going to come easily. His resolve takes a tragic turn, however, when BART officers shoot him in cold blood at the Fruitvale subway stop on New Year's Day. Oscar's life and tragic death would shake the Bay Area - and the entire nation - to its very core. (c) Weinstein

Best Review For Movie Fruitvale Station
It's hard not to watch Fruitvale Station with a coiled dread... Yet, Coogler's greatest achievement may be in reminding us that Grant was a work in progress with people who loved him in spite of his flaws and because of his hopes.Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post
We feel the death on the platform so acutely not because it's a stupid act of randomness, but hardly untypical racist violence, but because we've come to love this man.
-Globe and Mail
Michael B. Jordan (The Wire and Friday Night Lights) plays Oscar with the heart and compelling charm required to make us feel close to him.
Linda Barnard-Toronto Star
It's a story of one young man's tragedy, a story that resonates with so many other tragedies. Oscar Grant wasn't some mere symbol; this film makes him flesh and, unfortunately, blood.
Tom Long-Detroit News
An eloquent memorial for a man who barely experienced life, and a haunting reminder of how quickly it can be lost.
Moira MacDonald-Seattle Times
Some of this narrative feels cliched, but Coogler and his actors make it work by leaning toward understatement.
Rafer Guzman-Newsday
The slow first hour is more than compensated for by the half hour climax that leaves one in tears.
Tony Medley-Tolucan Times
As Grant, Michael B. Jordan's stunning good looks and immaculately restrained acting affects even those who don't want to be manipulated-who want to watch this story with unfogged eyes.
Richard von Busack-MetroActive
Without emotion-tweaking music or too much fictional streamlining and highlighting, he captures a sense of the random and pointless horror of a young man shot in the back while laying on his stomach
Chris Barsanti-Film Racket
...writer-director Ryan Coogler and his actors do such a good job the film is consistently compelling despite its predestined finale.
Leonard Maltin-indieWIRE
after seeing Fruitvale Station you should come away with the impulse to muse on the life behind the next tragic homicide in the news that sparks debate ...
Matt Kelemen-AspectRatio.us
The film is both personal and universal. Jordan can be so touching, and his intimidating ferocity is palpable. This is an important picture with a breakout performance.
Michael Smith-Tulsa World
Fruitvale Station's arrival in theaters corresponds with the outcry over the Trayvon Martin case. But Fruitvale did not need added relevancy to be remarkable.
Carla Meyer-Sacramento Bee
Fruitvale Station is a heart-rending stop; just remember that the line doesn't end there.
Marjorie Baumgarten-Austin Chronicle
Was Oscar Grant going to turn his life around? We'll never know because of a pointless act of violence.
Rich Heldenfels-Akron Beacon Journal
Coogler's take quietly serves to show Grant as a human being, with his flaws and redeeming qualities, and not just as a face in a newspaper obituary.
Sean Means-Salt Lake Tribune
...a palpably low-key premise that's employed to continuously engrossing effect by first-time writer/director Ryan Coogler...
David Nusair-Reel Film Reviews
'Fruitvale Station' is a movie people are going to be talking about and it's a conversation you don't want to be left out of.
Mathew DeKinder-Suburban Journals of St. Louis
You wonder if Coogler would have felt freer had Grant somehow lived that night, if the director weren't put in a position where he felt the need to honor the dead by bringing him to dramatic life. But he believes in his ambition.
Wesley Morris-Grantland
Many recent movies so cavalierly dispense thousands upon thousands of ammunition rounds, you can sometimes forget the effect that one bullet can have on human life.
John Serba-MLive.com
A tragically relevant and incredibly important film that deserves all the attention it can get from American audiences.
Mike Scott-Times-Picayune
What's presented here is good, and it's an important film to see for its coverage of the subject matter that unfortunately is still making headlines. (Full Parental Review also available)
