Review of The Birth of a Nation (2016) by John Anderson for Wall Street Journal — 05 Oct 2016
What Mr. Parker has committed to the screen is a righteously indignant, kinetic and well-acted film — Mr. Parker, as Turner, delivers a fierce, complex performance. At the same time, his film is remarkably conventional.
The framing and the camera movements are all very routine, even dated; one would have said it looks like television, before television gained its current lustre.
