Well crafted historic film

Rating: 6/10 (4 February 2016)

Selma is not a great but a good film, it is well crafted and well acted with a stacked cast. It has some strong Scenes like the Intro, the break up of the March and the Funeral Speech. The Original Footage at the end is a nice Addition. At times the runtime feels stretched which is one of the few negative things about the film. Not that the Oscars mean anything but retrospectively David Oyelowo should have been nominated for best actor instead of Steve Carell or Bradley Cooper, although not an amazing Performance, it is superior to the other two. Also the directing of Selma is certainly better than Boyhood, The Imitation Game and Foxcatcher
