Not an Oscar standard

Rating: 3/10 (2 March 2019)

I get the point. American guilt about its attitude to race. It has a message but too what end? The USA is still deeply divided.
What is the story trying to say? It was bad then but now things are SO much better? Nope.
2 guys, a cultured lonely black gay guy driven by the cartoon character Italian dumbo on a long 'journey' to enlightenment, with an 'in time for Christmas' ending.
Nothing adequately explored, nothing new to say. It is a lovely story based on true events, lovely photography, good acting.
I'm just left not feeling much about either character.
It's all been done before only better.
