The title really says it all: Even with a top-notch cast, The Human Stain is only an imprint rather than a cohesive film. Read the novel instead to get the whole picture.  --Kit Bowen (Hollywood.com)
Despite its flaws, this adaptation is excellent. Gary Sinise steals the show. 90/100--Jamie Gillies (Apollo Guide)
Poorly structured, badly scripted and terribly miscast drama that bungles its central idea – not unwatchable but not far off.  --Matthew Turner (ViewLondon)
Thankfully this particular stain isn't permanent - try to ignore it and it'll go away. 3/10--Gary Panton (Movie Gazette)
