Depressing Film is Unpleasant To Watch

Rating: 4/10 (27 April 2017)

It will make you uncomfortable to watch Natalie Portman try to simulate an accent she is unable to handle. It sounds like she is whisper mumbling a Southern drawl or something. Its laughable. Her wig looks like some children in grade school made it at home and just popped it on her head at the last second before they started filming. The camera work is shaky hand held and unprofessional looking. The majority of shots are significantly over zoomed so that you are often looking at part of a human face rather than an entire scene. As if you were standing one inch from the persons nose. Its idiotic. The color spectrum has been compressed to look drab, depressing and unappealing. One has to assume that the director did all this in an attempt to create a realistic and somber mood but instead it comes off looking cheap. To take such an important and tragic part of American history and treat it is this shoddy fashion is unforgivable. Utter garbage. Shame on you !
