This made me cry.
Telling one story as an example and implicating an injustice so wast and overwhelming, its heartbreaking.
The story is told very straight forward without the over dramatization and scandalization normally used in this kind of biopic storytelling, which might lead some reviewers to call it badly executed. For me, it was excellent. 2 years 8 months ago -

A strong, important story, is let down by a movie-of-the-week level of scriptwriting and a middling performance by Michael B. Jordan. Jamie Foxx and Brie Larson outshine Jordan in every scene, but much of the problem is the script ironically not injecting any real human mannerisms into the dialogue. Every sentence is very matter of fact: “I think this. We should do this.”
That said, the finale is a very emotional one that had me choked up and there are definitely some speeches that could be classics.
With some refinement, this could be an excellent movie, but, for me, it was just good.

I don't agree with selcukgucer. There's a false note or 2, but mostly I thought this was a well told, painful story with good performances from Jordan, Tim Blake Nelson and a surprisingly toned down Foxx. 4 years ago
