Review of Emancipation (2022) by Jluis_001 — 11 Dec 2022
A gross and shameless Oscars bait that promised to be an epic and probably another great showcase for Will Smith to get a Best Actor nomination. Well, that was before what happened at this year's ceremony.
However, the truth is that it is nothing of the sort, and what it is, is deeply disappointing.
Beyond its craftsmanship, Emancipation is a poor and dull film, lacking in ferocity, poignancy and emotion, and worst of all, it is inconsequential in almost every aspect. It's a film that, as I said, unabashedly aspired to be something huge, but from what I saw and how it looks in most of its component elements, Emancipation gives the feeling of being something conceived to get lost in the broadcast model as novelty content for the weekend, and never to create a cinematic impression of stature.
It was certainly a frustrating and underwhelming experience.
