Loved it

Rating: 9/10 (31 December 2019)

I have become hesitant to watch movies that feature racism from back in the day. I tend to find them depressing and upsetting. Although this movie did feature racism it also had great comedy, and was uplifting overall.
I was so sorry to hear of all the controversies the movie faced. I never expect movies like this to be absolute documentaries, with a blow-by-blow of what actually happened. I love Mahershala and Viggo and think they did excellent.
I did want to point out the "Elephant in the room" Viggo Mortensen is Danish and he's portraying in Italian isn't that a "Race swap" or "Culteral appropriation". It interfered with my "immersion into the film".... I'm totally just kidding, some people need to calm down about that stuff. : )
