9.5 I would say out of 10, gave it a 10 not a 9 because...

Rating: 10/10 (24 November 2017)

First of all, Garrett Hedlund's performance in this is, in my opinion, a performance that deserves many awards.
This Dee Rees' film is one of a kind, it reminds me of Mississippi Burning from 1988, because of its story-line that is made in such a good manner, transmitting a very strong message, also, every piece of work that all the filming crew did here, together with the great cast, made this film one of the few best of 2017 films so far, in my opinion of course.
I must say, I have never seen this (great and never tried before) combination of two major US history moments in a film, segregation and world war 2, so far and, I would recommend this film to every war, history, drama enthusiast because it is a masterpiece of 2017, a must see.
