Review of Selma (2014) by Josh O — 08 Feb 2015
Given the recent events in the states the past year and human rights in general, Selma is an important movie. Ava Duvernay directs this film with depth and honest brutality. Anchored by a powerful performance from David Oyelowo and strong supporting cast, Duvernay shows Martin Luther King jr.
warts and all. Great cinematography from Bradford Young enhances the well written screenplay aided further by a good score. This is defintely a good film and an important one but I didn't find myself completely connecting with the film, it felt a bit too clinical to me.
Though I think it's great I wasn't blown away.
