Review of Free State of Jones (2016) by Jens S — 12 Nov 2018

Sometimes in a enervatingly slowly pace, this film tells a pretty fascinating, untold story. There are moments of brilliance, but while some parts drag out forever, others feel rushed. In the end, a lot of developments are merely covered in text captions.

Overall a decent attempt that could have had even more of an emotional impact with a more condensed script. McConaughey is not to blame, he delivers the goods, as always.
