Alicia I love this movie so much

ScoobyWell Great visuals, story delivers no surprises

StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

gapeach1004 This was a really great movie up until the part where they acted like the north didn't have slaves. Perpetrating stereotypes is wrong. This movie is trying to teach a message and it puts this in there? Give me a break. I know this happened in Louisiana as to why the movie is set there, but that doesn't mean the north is automatically some great place where everyone got along.I still enjoyed the movie. I really feel for Ruby and her struggle.

Kachai McLean Ruby Bridges, an African-American girl who, in 1960 at age 6, helped to integrate the all-white schools of New Orleans. Although she was the only black girl to come to the school she was sent to.All the white parents took their kids out of school so therefore Ruby was the only child in the school.Everyday Ruby went to school she was faced to angry white people where they cussed at her , said hurtful and racism things. Ruby had an a teacher named Barbara Henry that was by her side while parents were doing hurtful things like taking their kids out of the class ruby was in. Ms.Henry still taught Ruby as if she was teaching an whole class.

edwagreen This film details the effects of racism on a first grader sent to an all white school in Louisiana in 1960. The child, Ruby Bridges, must endure the taunts of bigots in the street to protest her enrollment. What's even worse is that she encounters a bigoted teaching staff led by a vicious, prejudiced school administrator. Diana Scarwid catches the essence of bigotry in her performance. However, it is never pointed out who exactly she represents. Is she the principal, superintendent or school secretary? No matter who she is, she is the epitome of bigotry.The film deals with the psychological trauma affecting Ruby and her family.The child playing Ruby is just wonderful. Other acting kudos must go to the teacher who plays Mrs. Henry. She is kind and understanding. Kevin Pollak gives a wonderfully understated performance as the psychologist working with Ruby and her parents. Michael Beach is excellent as the father, who loses his job, during this situation and is bitter against everyone: Black neighbors who feel increasing pressure, a Jewish store owner who is pressured in telling Beach not to come into the store, and NAACP officials who he feels are not doing enough.The film is an excellent one for trying to break down the religious and racial barriers that affect us all.

LeRoyMarko There's probably at least a dozen movies like this one, but most are better. Ruby Bridges is a little black girl who breaks new grounds by attending an all-white school in New Orleans in 1960. The movie is not very inspiring and the acting is not very good. Skip this one.6 out of 10.
