Powerful Film - Awards snub due to "privilege"

Rating: 9/10 (4 May 2019)

Everything about this movie was exceptional from the filming which tries to recreate the vintage yellow hue, shaky and fast camera sequences, and texture of film from that era, to the incredible acting, and finally the powerful performances from Ryan Gosling and Claire Foy. This movie and actors were pushed aside in favor of lesser movies and much weaker performances at the Academy Awards. Unfortunately it is a product of the present society where recognition is forced by who complains the loudest. A movie about a white man will garner no support today. Back in the 1980's the film The Color Purple should have won everything, and it was embarrassingly left out of every award among its staggering 11 nominations. Maybe one day it will be about the quality of the performances, regardless of the political landscape.
