| VarietyRonnie ScheibThe potentially thought-provoking concept of historical reconciliation is ill served by a half-baked script that reduces every cliched plot point to jaw-dropping levels of preachiness. |
| New York TimesStephen HoldenSo completely lacking in his eye for revealing detail and his ear for colloquial speech that it feels less like a movie than an incomplete first draft of a well-meaning if unsophisticated essay. |
| Time OutS. James SnyderIt's a familiar formula: Greedy suits touting high-rise schematics and targeting blue-collar citizens end up locking horns with a local firebrand. Guess who wins? |
| User ReviewThomas PGreat film. Very touching & inspirational. A recommended watch for any background. Touching. I enjoyed this film. |
| User ReviewDF WRacist little town plagued by a dark secret of a 40-year old crime; a daylight assassination of a civil rights movement. The ethical question is whether principles are more important than profit at any cost? |
| User ReviewPam LVery good movie! It kept me interested the whole time! |
| User ReviewDavid BOne of those small carefully written scripts that are so rare to find. Basically a murder mystery with racial undertones this is worth seeing with a great understated performance by Glover and another by Bassett. |
| User ReviewMelissa GThis is my kind of movie, big on character development, with plenty of understated scenes that let the visuals make the points instead of always spelling everything out in the dialogue. It was a great film for people interested in honest discussion about race and I appreciated that no one was a caricature and both black and white characters struggled with identities and choices that were forced on them by societal dynamics beyond their control. It did a nice job depicting the frustration, felt by people on both sides, of being trapped by those dynamics, where how enlightened you are, or how well you try to understand what's going on doesn't matter. It was one of those films that does more observing than preaching, which makes it a nice vehicle for identifying and examining some of your own feelings about the issues it explores. |
| User ReviewDhia-Eddine DI enjoyed this film more than I expected to. The story was moving and the actors did a great job in there respective roles. Can't figure out why it was necessary to shave/wax Adam's chest. |
| User ReviewJanae CAn allstar cast. Great movie. You gotta love Angela Bassett. Great story. |
