Review of Free in Deed (2017) by Joshua Rothkopf for Time Out — 28 Jun 2016
Writer-director Gary Ross (Pleasantville, Seabiscuit) knows how to please crowds, so there's fascination in his consistently wrongheaded impulse to add more historical details: lengthy scenes of exposition, even a leap decades into the future for a courtroom drama involving Knight's persecuted offspring.
He's lost sight of the powerful drama at this story's heart, about the ennobling swirl of momentous events.
