Review of Free State of Jones (2016) by Filml0Ver — 26 Jun 2016

I'm a huge history fan, so of course I've seen this movie twice already! And checked out their website where you can learn even more about the story and the history of it all (talk about going above and beyond for their movie!).

My only fault with this movie is that Matthew McConaughey doesn't look like his usual sexy self, but I guess that is fair (loved him in "Magic Mike! haha). You gotta check out the end where they show a picture of Newton Knight and it is chilling how similar Matthew looks to the real Newt! Pretty sure he was born to play this role.

The lead girl, Gugu, is great too. She is awesome in "Beyond the Lights" so check her out in that after you see "Free State." This isn't one of those boring history movies- they back up a cool true story with gorgeous shots, phenomenal acting, and beautiful music.

Love love love this movie.
