Rating: 8/10.
Pros:
+The cast performances are excellent. The highlight of this is David Oyelowo's performance as Martin Luther King, Jr. as he brings humanity playing a beloved history icon.
+The cinematography is what makes this movie one of the most eye-appealing movies to watch.
+The direction from Ava DuVernay is excellent.
+By the time this review is written, the atmosphere for African-Americans is still not quite safe as they continue to experience racism. Because of that, this movie still feels relevant.
+I liked how Martin Luther King, Jr. was portrayed here as a human who has flaws and wants better rights for African-Americans. This is what movies based on a history icon should do.
Cons:
-Some of the parts of the plot felt dull and convoluted.
