Dana Villamagna Common Sense Media
February 28, 2017 While the excellent acting and compelling storyline in this series will likely draw viewers attention, the often stilted messaging can dull the drama.

Tom Long Detroit News
February 27, 2017 For those under a certain age it's likely to be a well-dramatized history lesson; for those over that age it's a flashback look at modern times.

March 06, 2017 This four-night drama about the gay and lesbian rights movement in the United States is packed with wonderfully nuanced performances and splendidly resonant moments.

Ben Travers indieWire
February 23, 2017 A sprawling story creates an awkward combination of history lessons and personal stories, and broadcast standards prove far too restrictive. The result is a conglomeration of narratives that never reach their full potential.

Roger Catlin
February 27, 2017 When We Rise is a high minded and generally recommended history of the gay rights movement, a sincere effort by Dustin Lance Black, screenwriter of Milk to provide history and hope in an eight-hour project.

Nick Allen RogerEbert.com
February 27, 2017 Only by its own wild choices, like stunt casting and narrative stasis does the series start to lose its way, although the fire for the story it wants to tell is constantly, visibly burning.

Verne Gay Newsday
February 27, 2017 Important television, but also wildly, maddeningly uneven TV, too.

Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe
February 23, 2017 Given the shortcomings and overreaches of the script, the acting is as good as it can be, with Skeggs standing out as the young Guy and Williams evoking deep alienation effectively.

Richard Lawson Vanity Fair
March 02, 2017 When We Rise admirably illustrates the virtue and necessity of activism, but it doesn't have enough muscle. There's a piousness, a politeness at root in the series that withers in the harsh glare of our political moment.
