Full Plot Details

Born in Birmingham, Duff Anderson, the father of a male toddler, who lives with a nanny, re-locates to a small town to work on the railroad. He meets with and is attracted to Josie much to the chagrin of her preacher father. The marriage does take place nevertheless, both re-locate to live in their own house and he gets a job in a mill. He decides not to bring his son to live with them. Challenges arise when the Mill Foreman finds out that Duff is attempting to unionize the workers, forcing Duff to quit, and look for work elsewhere. Unable to reconcile himself to working on a daily wage of $2.50 picking cotton nor even as a waiter, he gets a job at a garage. He is enraged at a customer for belittling him and Josie, and is let go. Unemployed, unable to support his wife and son, he gets abusive and leaves - perhaps never to return.

Movie Reviews

Little White Lies - 10/10 by Ashley ClarkIn addition to its marvellous performances and perspicacious treatment of difficult themes, Nothing But a Man is a technical triumph.
Daily Telegraph (UK) - 10/10 by Tim RobeyAs a political statement, it's wholly implicit, without a hint of the soapbox.
Artforum - 10/10 by Amy TaubinOne of the great American independent films and one of the great films about how racism defines African American masculinity.
ReelTalk Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Donald J. LevitIt is difficult to fathom the long obscurity of this sincere, compassionate film.
Slant Magazine - 9/10 by Jaime N. ChristleyIt can't be overstated just how Nothing But a Man is militantly tone-deaf to the Hollywood muzak of race relations.
Boston Phoenix - 8/10 by Michael AtkinsonRoemer had little more than his wits and good intentions to work with, and that DIY attitude makes the movie reverberate like a blues chord.
Village Voice - 8/10 by Nick PinkertonThe title almost suggests manhood as something trifling. The film, however, confirms it's a mighty hard ideal to reach.
New Yorker - 7/10 by Richard Brody[Roemer] and his collaborators create images and sounds, characters and situations, that embody the title's existential affirmation.
Washington Post - 4/10 by Hal HinsonNothing but a Man is one of the most sensitive films about black life ever made in this country.
User Review - 10/10 by ollie sOne of my all time favorites...pure love in a hard time.Two people from different economic background find common ground in each other arms .All while dealing with race issues.A guidebook on being a man and loving a woman right.
