Review of Selma (2014) by Yash B — 23 May 2015
"Selma" is a stunning biopic about an incredibly inspirational historical figure. The movie is powerful and resonates deeply with its brutally realistic portrayal of the time period. David Oyelowo does truly spectacular work in his performance and was snubbed of an Oscar nomination.
His delivery of every line of dialogue is superb and believable, and you feel like you see MLK speaking opposed to somebody just playing him. This movie is an all around impactful film fueled by great performances and relevant issues in history.
It is one of my favorite films from 2014 and one of the best movies about the civil rights movement I have seen.
