This is a good movie, but particularly an important one, especially now, when white supremacy is gaining popularity again.

I know Cate Blanchett and Michelle Yeoh are deservedly the frontrunners for this year's Oscars. However, Danielle Deadwyler should win because this was an earth-shattering performance. There is a point in the film where I thought the real Mamie Till-Mobley took over Danielle Deadwyler's body. Incredible work.

The intention of showing this story, told more extensively this year in the miniseries "Women of the movement" (ABC, 2022), from the mother's point of view, brings degrees of emotional depth that Danielle Deadwyler explores in a surprisingly stark way. The story, however, is damaged by this overflowing emotion, perhaps intentionally unfocused, making descriptions that sometimes contradict the point of view adopted, such as showing the interaction between Emmett and the white saleswoman. Despite this, it is a film that conveys pain and mourning in a moving way.

it’s difficult to watch, but there aren’t enough words in the english language to describe how important it is for all of us to see this and talk about it

Incredible performance from Danielle Deadwyler who deservedly got a Bafta nomination. Very moving film.
