An absolute gem!

Rating: 10/10 (30 March 2020)

I loved this film. Rob Morgan was just amazing! He was an awesome father, preacher, black man living in a time of complete racism. You cannot but feel for this characters hopes and dreams and for that of his children. His son played by Jason Mitchell is a decorated Sargent who was a tank operator. In Europe where he is not segregated he falls in love with a white woman, but has to come home from the war. Jonathan Banks is brilliant as ever, creating a truly awful racist! His sons having vastly different upbringings one on the farm and the other as a bomber pilot in the Second World War are in complete opposition. His friendship with Jason Mitchell's character is understandable as their shared war experiences. The women in the movie are strongly quiet behind the scenes but the three main ones Carey Mulligan,Mary J. Blige, Lucy Faust are simply stunning in their intensity! This movie is an absolute gem and definitely Oscar worthy! Loved this and yes recommend it!
