Reception
Mary McNamara in a review for the Los Angeles Times described Alice Walker: Beauty in Truth as "a lovely and lyrical tribute", concluding: "... it isn't often we get to spend time with a person of such conviction under whose hands words bloom with both beauty and power. But then there really isn't another person like this. There's only Alice Walker." An article in Ms. Magazine stated: "It's a beautiful film: a testament to the power of narrative, textual and visual, and to finding your way when the path isn't always clear." The review in YES! magazine called it "a deeply moving film that deserved the standing ovations at its premiere screenings...as beautiful visually as it is spiritually. It’s a must-see."
