One of the best films of the year

Rating: 10/10 (21 November 2017)

This is the kind of film where each character gets enough space and each of the actors gives such astonishing performance that you can't just choose who was the best among them. Carey Mulligan, Garrett Hedlund and Jason Mitchell lead the film where Mulligan is proving her caliber once again and the latter two shows they can carry a film on their own. Showing racism through a white housewife who never has known true freedom and 2 IInd World War soldiers one black and one white who returns to their farm after the war, soaked in blood and mud have created one of the best films of the year. Jason Clarke's character essentially represents how racism can be passed through generations without being outright violent about it and how a lot of people needs to be so cautious about their every single action just to simply live peacefully. Even though depicting a bygone era it was relatable on so many levels. The best film of the year so far for me.
