Alec C Give me a beat and enjoy this impressive story of the street life! Jimmy Smith struggles in the streets of Detroit and tries to earn his way with rapping and rhythm, but things get complicated with his home life and his own inner demons as he tries to live and survive at the same time. An emotional story of finding the strength to turn your pain into power as someone tries to take a stand in a setting where second chances are barely feasible! Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/20/24 Full Review Steven James R Eminem Best Shame Only Got To See His Booty He Could Of Turned Around Or Sideways.Could Of Been Looking At Us All Sideways. Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/14/24 Full Review RapidKraken I can't give it 5 stars, as at times I can lose engagement and it has one pretty useless sex scene. Despite this, I still enjoy it a good deal, but then again I am a pretty big fan of Eminem so I could be biased. The highlight is definitely the rap battle scenes, even the final one has blown up on the Internet. I recommend watching it, but it isn't some life-changing experience. Rated 3.5/5 Stars • Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/07/24 Full Review Vinicius C Absolutely Masterpiece! Eminem is the GOAT definitely! Let's Goooo B-Rabbit! 👊 Rated 5/5 Stars • Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/25/24 Full Review Lillian M Absolutely phenomenal. Real and relatable even in 2024. I felt this movie in my core and within my heart, and it inspired me to seize opportunities because you only get one big shot in life, so you gotta decide if you're gonna take a chance, or if you're gonna let it slide from between your fingers. Inspiring, powerful, and moving. A must-watch for everyone and anyone, but especially those who feel stuck in a hole.

Critics Reviews

Barbara Ellen Times (UK) While not exactly wow, Eminem is solid and credible in a role which could so easily have screeched like chalk across a wet blackboard. Jan 2, 2018 Full Review Joe Morgenstern Wall Street Journal It's easy to like Jimmy Smith as well as to admire him, because Mr. Mathers lets us in, with no sign of calculation, on the kindness, even tenderness, that Jimmy conceals from most of the people around him. Apr 7, 2014 Full Review David Denby New Yorker In the tradition of Rocky and Fever, the movie is a shrewdly engineered piece of proletarian pop -- a story of triumph -- but, like Eminem's enraged lyrics, 8 Mile has its own kind of vile candor. Apr 7, 2014 Full Review Sean Fallon Film Inquiry Overall, 8 Mile is a very entertaining movie. Its lead performance is still strong away from Eminem’s initial massive fame. May 6, 2023 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a low-key, character-study-like premise thats employed to persistently watchable (and periodically electrifying) effect... Rated: 3/4 Feb 18, 2022 Full Review David Walsh World Socialist Web Site Flashes of genuine rebellion appear in 8 Mile, but they are few and far between. The film's conclusion is thoroughly conformist and predictable. Feb 16, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
