 An African-American Classic April 27, 1999

The Learning Tree is an absolute great film. It really details the trials and tribulations of what African-Americans had to go through in America. It shows the good and evil in Black and White America. I urge everyone to see this film.

The story was based off of Gordon Parks real life story. A very good depiction of life in the early part of the century.
 The Learning Tree? September 18, 2000

I reluctantly watched this movie because i was waiting for my mom to finish with the VCR. Anyway, the first time I watched "The Learning Tree", I thought that it dragged on and on. The second time I watched it, however, the story seemed very moving to me. I was really impressed with how good the story is.
Thanks, Mr. Parks March 3, 2007

The Learning Tree, is one of the best movies ever made, and yet, it has yet to be released on DVD. The first time I saw it, which I think was in my early twenties, I was absolutely blown away. Everything about it from the cast to the story line, was brilliant. Gordon Parks and everyone else involved, did an excellent job, and if I see it a hundred times, it will be as if it was released, yesterday. It's the kind of film, that you could never get enough of, and in case you don't remember, the 70s offered little, in the form of great black films, which is another reason why this, deserves to be made into a DVD. Thanks, Mr. Parks.
 A Missed Opportunity April 1, 2000

This could have been a great movie. I found the story interesting. The film depicts growing up as an African-American in rural Kansas of the 1920's. Unfortunately, the film is marred by a mediocre script and poor acting. This movie is a missed opportunity to take a memorable story and make of it a moving film. Instead the film falls flat.
