Winner of both the Grand Jury Prize for dramatic feature and the Audience Award for U.S. dramatic film at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, director Ryan Coogler's FRUITVALE STATION follows the true story of Oscar Grant (Michael B. Jordan), a 22-year-old Bay Area resident who wakes up on the morning of December 31, 2008 and feels something in the air. Not sure what it is, he takes it as a sign to get a head start on his resolutions: being a better son to his mother (Octavia Spencer), whose birthday falls on New Year's Eve, being a better partner to his girlfriend Sophina (Melonie Diaz), who he hasn't been completely honest with as of late, and being a better father to Tatiana (Ariana Neal), their beautiful four year-old daughter. Crossing paths with friends, family, and strangers, Oscar starts out well, but as the day goes on, he realizes that change is not going to come easily. His resolve takes a tragic turn, however, when BART officers shoot him in cold blood at the Fruitvale subway stop on New Year's Day. Oscar's life and tragic death would shake the Bay Area - and the entire nation - to its very core. (c) WeinsteinMovie Title : Fruitvale Station

Review For Movie Fruitvale Station
It's hard not to watch Fruitvale Station with a coiled dread... Yet, Coogler's greatest achievement may be in reminding us that Grant was a work in progress with people who loved him in spite of his flaws and because of his hopes.Lisa Kennedy-Denver Post
We feel the death on the platform so acutely not because it's a stupid act of randomness, but hardly untypical racist violence, but because we've come to love this man.
-Globe and Mail
Michael B. Jordan (The Wire and Friday Night Lights) plays Oscar with the heart and compelling charm required to make us feel close to him.
Linda Barnard-Toronto Star
It's a story of one young man's tragedy, a story that resonates with so many other tragedies. Oscar Grant wasn't some mere symbol; this film makes him flesh and, unfortunately, blood.
Tom Long-Detroit News
An eloquent memorial for a man who barely experienced life, and a haunting reminder of how quickly it can be lost.
Moira MacDonald-Seattle Times
Some of this narrative feels cliched, but Coogler and his actors make it work by leaning toward understatement.
Rafer Guzman-Newsday
Make no mistake: there's a rage and wrenching sadness here, but Ryan Coogler has filtered it via a story packed with lingering grace notes.
Cara Nash-FILMINK (Australia)
When it reaches that harrowing, inevitable finale, it inspires fury and confusion much like Spike Lee's signature work did two decades ago.
Simon Miraudo-Quickflix
The best thing Coogler did was cast Michael B. Jordan as Oscar and Octavia Spencer as his mother Wanda and surround them with an entirely credible version of life in Oakland's black community.
Stuart Klawans-The Nation
Despite its credibility issues, the film is still able to deliver an emotional finale.
Matthew Toomey-ABC Radio Brisbane
Riveting, emotionally charged drama, with powerhouse performances to match. Jordan is a revelation.
Ed Gibbs-The Sunday Age
Thank goodness ... for the performances, all powerful and compelling, from Michael B. Jordan as Oscar to the wonderful Octavia Spencer as his mum and Melonie Diaz as his gf Sophina
Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile
it rings true. There is no manipulation or theatrical construct that deflect from the story's core; the film ensures Oscar's legacy remains and that we feel as though we have got to know this young man whose loss is a senseless tragedy
Louise Keller-Urban Cinefile
Assured directorial debut of the 26-year-old Ryan Coogler.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews
It's an unflinching, 360-degree character portrait.
Mara Reinstein-Us Weekly
A good first film but not quite deserving of the hype. The best parts have nothing to do with Oscar Grant's murder but the quotidian tale of survival by a young man with the best of intentions.
Louis Proyect-rec.arts.movies.reviews
does something more radical ... humanizes the protagonist
John A. Nesbit-Old School Reviews
Stunning, timely look at the killing of an unarmed man
Robert Denerstein-Movie Habit
...takes tragedies that have inflamed a nation - from Fruitvale to Sanford, Fla. - and brings them back down to human scale.
Josh Larsen-LarsenOnFilm
There are scenes that were certainly fabricated for the movie, but the emotional truth behind them feels real.
Eric Melin-Scene-Stealers.com
An utterly moving and rich slice-of-life fable.
Tim Brayton-Antagony & Ecstasy
Yet, despite being aware of the outcome, the movie is, in its own profane and streetwise manner, a warmhearted and soulful story of a young man's journey toward self-discovery and determination.
Bob Bloom-Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
An impressive launch for the film's young writer-director and a signal that the movie's leading man will be a major presence in American film.
John Wirt-Advocate (Baton Rouge, LA)
The performance by Michael B. Jordan is authentic and convincing, and helps us stay engaged in a film that wants to be mundane until its explosive finale.
Lori Hoffman-Atlantic City Weekly
In the wake of the Trayvon Martin verdict, this compassionate film reclaims the humanity of victims transformed into political symbols and provides context for those who think the media and not Zimmerman's bullet 'injected race' into the Martin killing.
John Beifuss-Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
One of the year's best films.
Bob Grimm-Reno News and Review
