This is an important subject and is very timely told at a time when racism, segregation and hatred Is probably at it most accepted since the time this story is set. The message here despite what cinema paradiso’s in house reviewer says is clear and there is no question that right rules over wrong here and that the main characters are a beacon for hope. Yes, you could argue the main parts are underwritten particularly given the run time and yes, I am sure some poetic licenses had been taken. I can think that only people who were disappointed with the outcome in this film would give this one star Mr Macpherson. For those reading the review from this critic, I would say read all the other critic reviews, with hardly any others giving this film such a scathing review.
I haven't written a review on this site yet, but I felt now was the time to start as I am amazed with the amount of negative reviews on this site. Reviews elsewhere have been strong amongst the paying public and especially the critics and with good reason. This is intelligent, thought provoking, superbly written and acted. I see from those who have given this one or two stars they mainly watch mainstream action movies and I can see therefore why they have scored this low. If you like intelligent, well written science fiction that push the boundaries i would recommend this highly.
Well I decided to delete this review but it doesn’t look like you can which is a bit weird. I’m sure also my last review didn’t need to be 100 characters
