Slow pace, but irreproachable acting and splendid cinematography for a very powerful movie

Rating: 7/10 (20 January 2016)

I had high expectations for this movie and I was still impressed.
Though slow at times, boredom is never felt. The movie took its time to deliver an poignant film.
David Oyewolo was simply amazing as MLK. His presence and his charisma through his portrayal was very sincere. Carmen Ejogo was the surprise for me here. Her acting was top notch and faultless.
Even minor characters were supported by extremely talented actors. Thus throwing the spectator for 2 hours in an important part of history.
The make up artists and costume designers really worked hard on this one. It has been mentioned by others already but I mention it again.
Overall a very good movie that does not disappoint. 7/10
