Review of The Great Debaters (2007) by Familiar S — 07 May 2011
I wanted to see it since long, but wasn't much eager due to its (boring) title. I wasn't too keen to watch a bunch of teams debate. However, after being crushed to death by Deadgirl, this one helped making me feel alive.
Besides, it exceeded my expectations by and large. Almost everything seemed in place. Almost. At times, the character Samantha Booke sounds over histrionic. Her body language also becomes too dramatic at those points.
I don't know who's to blame for this (the actress or the director). And I've no intention whatsoever of holding a debate on it!!! But the movie was indeed great IMO.
