Review of Selma (2014) by Tom H — 05 Oct 2015
A biopic that took far too long to make. Good performances all around. The events around Selma leading to the March on Montgomery are faithfully recreated, reigniting the anger felt then, especially in view of what is happening today, 50 years later.
The stubbornness, ignorance and brute force have survived. For some odd reason the film does not engage the viewer as it should. At least, not this one. But, that may be due to me remembering how it was when it happened.
Bottom line: American heritage not to be thrown aside.
