As America's fight for independence begins, a young drummer boy, an enslaved woman, and a divided family each search for freedom in a world built to deny it. With music carrying hope through battle and loss, Drummer Boy turns the Revolution into a deeply human story of faith, forgiveness, and the belief that no person is born to live in chains or be forgotten.

6/10
Clunky in places but with strong underlying bones to its story and performances, Drummer Boy is elevated by a well-crafted production, even when its music and characters verge on dull. Go to Full Review Charles Koplinski Reel Talk with Chuck and Pam 5 hrs ago
2/4
Yet, it’s the musical interludes that undo the film. The artificial nature of these moments and the melodramatic tone of the songs clash with the genuine nature of the dramatic scenes to disastrous effect. Go to Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies 8 hrs ago
3.5/5
A powerful and soul-stirring musical tale of freedom, forgiveness, and reconciliation. Go to Full Review Avi Offer NYC Movie Guru 19 hrs ago
A mildly engaging, but overlong, clunky, dull and shallow musical love story that awkwardly combines romance, war, drama and musical numbers. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
