Review of Till (2022) by Jluis_001 — 23 Dec 2022
I think the most important thing this film represents is that this is a story that should by no means be forgotten.
Till accomplishes enough in that regard, but it also leaves a void in terms of its relevance because, for some reason that I didn't understand, the film focuses more on showing the immediate aftermath rather than giving more importance to what Emmett Till's death represented.
Not that I think the film in any way seeks to be a cheap melodrama because it never resorts to that, but the fact that everything that happened after the trial only ends up as little information cards at the end of the film makes the more resonant moments feel watered down.
It's a good movie, but I wasn't expecting such a predictable and basic treatment.
