Reigning Oscar Award Winning Filmmakers Looking for more Nominations

Rating: 7/10 (20 August 2017)

The story wasn't proved enough to have a movie made after it. You knew what this would be just by the title. Just one of those reigning Oscar award winning filmmakers looking for another trophy. The makers of this film made it with the assumption that it'd be Oscar bait, and that's the exact reason why it isn't. They knew the story they told wasn't proved enough to be 100% true but they labeled it as a true story and went with the project anyways. It ran longer than it could've but it held my interest. the acting is spectacular, especially Poulter's performance. Directing and cinematography were good too, but keep in mind this story is impossible to depict because the events that took place in the motel were only seen by the people who were in it; they could only resemble the the scenes in the motel based on the victims' perspectives and a few documents. The scenes might not be 100% accurate, but they teach us of the danger racism brings upon the world, and that's a pretty important lesson in today's world.
