"Very good movie, makes you think about a lot!"
Jonathan Kent
"The acting is good it's got a few emotional beats that hit harder but I am the person who will always say I hate when they sympathize KKK members like what are we doing I don't want to do for you I don't care if he was Jesus. I feel like this is more of a like you don't really want to think about racism you know intro into racism before you get really into it like a hidden figures I love that movie but it very much is like a little dip your toe into the whole deal"

"I've been on a slow wander to this film, so that I swallow the pill with minimal heartbreak. I was relieved to find this story isn't as devastating as When They See Us. That's not to say that the film avoids the fight; rather, it fights gracefully. It's not "southern charm", it's compassion and consciousness that holds the thing together. It creeps to the point; but, it makes it. We could use more of this rationality now."
