One of the Best Movie of 2017!

Rating: 10/10 (30 December 2017)

This movie deserves to be included in all the 2017 awards. Well written, great performances, great story. Mary J. Blise (Florence) gives us a caring, touching performance as a mother of the Jacksons clan in rural Mississippi during the WWII. And so as Garrett Hedlund powerful acting as Jamie McAllan, Jonathan Banks as Pappy McAllan, Rob Morgan as Hap Jackson and Jason Mitchell as Ronsel Jackson
Director Dee Rees was able to bring all the energy, the comparison of fighting in a war and the Black life in Mississippi during KKK, the racial hatred and grey feeling from that area to the screen. Excellent book adaptation.
My fingers are crossed for any award recognition but again Hollywood/major critics are too shallow to understand that
