Vincent S @Vin_E_At_The_Movies 6d This is a sprawling epic that is mostly one of the most powerful movies you will see about race relations in the history of America. Howard E. Rollins Jr gives one of the best major film acting debuts in history. He is emotional and subtly powerful. Milos Forman has made a loving look at our Country and some of its ugly history, but love survives. The ending is heartbreaking, but this is an entertaining, sometimes powerful, sometimes funny and always entertaining masterpiece. The entire cast is also full of outstanding performances. This is a little underrated in my opinion, but I didn't read the book. See more thiago s @Thiagostone Jul 7 Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom, e o drama salvou o filme de ser fraco.

The third act idk certainly the most engaging. the sets are great and it has an interesting conversation. The movie is a bit hard to follow at first but eventually evolves to an interesting and thrilling drama. I would highly recommend a watch. See more Mark P @Laoma 05/09/2024 It was a good watch, but didn't capture the feel of the book it came. See more Alec B @Alec97 01/05/2024 Doctorow's novel is a tricky thing to adapt, especially with its deliberately elusive ideas about America. Inevitably a lot of materiel was cut or truncated in this movie but there is a lot to admire in Forman's vision here. His focus on the characters inspires a lot of empathy, more than usual in these kinds of period pieces. See more Read all reviews
