Watched it all, even though I thought I wouldn't.

Rating: 8/10 (9 March 2018)

8 to me is a good film, especially when the synopsis leans towards the usual Hollywood blackcentric or social commentary. Early on I thought how much more Black good / White bad can I take. Once you've finished with Getttysburg nonsense the idea that rank and file Union / Confederate troops were fighting for or against slavery it settles down to decent viewing.The Whites actually become human, some even showing more sensitivity than Blacks. Must be worth 5 votes in itself :-) Has the usual heavy dose of U.S. touching moments, but the star is the white coach daughter.
