 Gene Siskel of the "Chicago Tribune" declared "Driving Miss Daisy" one of the best films of 1989.Roger Ebert of the "Chicago Sun-Times" called it "a film of great love and patience" and wrote, "It is an immensely subtle film, in which hardly any of the most important information is carried in the dialogue and in which body language, tone of voice or the look in an eye can be the most important thing in a scene.After so many movies in which shallow and violent people deny their humanity and ours, what a lesson to see a film that looks into the heart."
