Sappy, Over-Dramatic Pap

Rating: 6/10 (20 December 2019)

I should've been warned. I guess it's too late to get my time back. Cinematography-wise, the film was spot on as was most of the acting. The melodramatic preposterous storyline leaves a lot to be desired, though. The lead's starry-eyed, wistful portrayal was agonizing to bear in parts, actually, through the entire course of the film. Too bad the writer/director didn't explore the elements of racism in the flick. Why introduce it in bits and pieces if it was irrelevant in the first place? Oh well, I supposed my time could've been spent worse at, say, screening a Johnny Depp, Tom Cruise, Brad Pitt or Leo DiCaprio movie.
