Review of Free State of Jones (2016) by Brad S — 11 Feb 2017

I like Matthew McConaughey and the true story that the film is based on is interesting, but this film just didn't work for me. It is hard to say exactly why, but it just didn't feel authentic. The performances were decent though, McConaughey was good as was Mahershala Ali, this was the 3rd film with him from 2016 I watched in the last month.

I think it was the script and direction that likely were the let downs. It was still interesting enough to make it worth watching, I just didn't like it a lot.
