Overwhelming coupled with insightful.

Rating: 9/10 (20 February 2017)

When you're born in the 1990s in a country far off from the American South, it is hard to envisage how people could actually behave so hatefully because of skin pigment. This film, puts much into perspective and truly is an eye-opener that allows those of us who are detached from the film's setting a glimpse into what life was like at the time.From the very first scene it's tense and keeps you intrigued towards the outcome.
As casting goes it's perfect, everyone depicts their roles well and adds to the whole theme both historically and emotionally. It also has a number of scenes that will make your blood boil and your skin crawl, but for me that's all part of the necessary roller-coaster of emotions that one would experience in order to appreciate this film and it's message
This film may prove upsetting for some, but I would advise you to have a go. There have been many movies grounded around similar themes, and whilst most have been plausible I feel that this one is the pinnacle. Some people will probably be put off it because it's starting to age, but if you have decent taste you'll know yourself that this isn't an issue. Must watch!
