Review of McFarland, USA (2015) by Corvin — 14 Jun 2015
Loved all of the acting and the dialogue, especially the humor. I'll be vague on my two quick nitpicks so as not to give anything away: The bridge scene came off as too coincidental and unrealistic and the outcome of the daughter's party seemed unnecessary to the plot.
But the answer to poverty and exploitation is not to hope your kid runs fast enough to escape it. The answer is to end poverty and exploitation. I hope one day Disney makes films about labor movements (we have a rich, violent, and riveting history to draw from up to the present day). Or how about a film on the Black Seminole slave rebellion? It's a story never been told that would make an amazing movie.
