boring and bigoted

Rating: 1/10 (9 May 2016)

Some of the reviews written here must be for another film.
It's most certainly not a family film. After half an hour i suggested we give up and *everyone* agreed immediately. My kids and wife were bored and a little disturbed. While it might be historically accurate - in attitudes and behaviours - we were all uncomfortable with the racist, bigoted, hate that permeated the characters. And at no point was there a token character to point out how times have changed, how we now consider such attitudes unacceptable, how antisocial and ignorant behaviour should not be tolerated, etc...
I'm sure that some well educated youngsters, and many older people, can discuss how wrong and backward were the attitudes of *those* days, but my kids were watching bullying, racism, and general bigotry as though its an acceptable way of life. No thanks. Not on my watch.
Maybe the rest of the movie makes up for all this. i'll never know.
humorous? No! Clever? Definitely not!
