Not really as good as I though it would be

Rating: Null/10 (8 February 2018)

This film tells the story of two men who return to a Mississippi after fighting in the Second World War.
The story explores racial and gender inequalities, but it does so in a rather dull and flat manner. There is little to engage me. Granted that Ronsel's experiences in his home town are horrible, and the privileged people's behaviour are unacceptable nowadays. However, events do not drive the subsequent events. In addition, there is little that really affects the viewers until the very last scenes. The story has little happening, and then in the last ten minutes extreme stuff happens. There is little build up, and the dramatic ending becomes unconvincing. It is not really as good as I though it would be
