Truly the best movie released last year!
Story points: Beautiful but heartbreaking film about the horrors of the jim crow south intertwined with snippets to remind you how recent all of that was. The final scene and a hug scene are the most difficult and heavy moments but i am obsessed with how emotional they are. Honestly, there’s no way you dont cry and feel anger towards what this country stands for by the end of watching this.
Technical points: Performances were amazing, the sound really puts you into these scenes (the boxing scene is insane and the use of sound really elevates the weight of what is going on in that moment). Camera work and coloring were really unique and some have complained about it being confusing but i bet those ppl also thought Little Women (2019) time jumps were hard to follow (derogatory).
Please rent this, need another project from everyone involved in this asap.
