Cape Argus / The Star Zane Henry Madiba made me do it | 15 | |
Cape Times Kirk Honeycutt 'Invictus' goes for the soft try | 10 | |
Box Office John P. McCarthy Sentimental and perhaps oversimplified | 10 | |
Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert Clint Eastwood, a master director, orchestrates all of these notes and has us loving Mandela, proud of Francois and cheering for the plucky Springboks. A great entertainment. | 18 | |
ReelViews James Berardinelli There's no debating that the message of Invictus is worthy, but there are times when its repetition elevates it to a level that's almost sanctimonious. | 15 | |

Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer Delivered with typically stately precision from director Clint Eastwood, Invictus may not be rousing enough for some viewers, but Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman inhabit their real-life characters with admirable conviction. | 16 | |
