Review of Selma (2014) by Grant S — 17 Jan 2016

Selma is the true story of Dr Martin Luther King Jr and his movement to get equal voting rights of the town of Selma. David Oyelowo gives a stunning performance and is supported by fine acting from the cast around him.

The story is brought to life with hard hitting scenes that are uncompromising and a soundtrack that really ties this captivating and compelling biopic up. This film has pain, joy, suspense, anger, pretty much every emotion possible and it delivers every single one with realism and efficiency without being over the top.
