there is a clear goal here. its starts off really well but it tries to juggle allot of characters. they all have good chemistry together, i really like how everyone speaks and the dialogue is really good.
viola davis is great aswell as her character but as for the other characters, i think the second lead is very cool but i think they could have done more with her.everyone gives a great performance tho and i think the story is cool even when its historically inacurrate. the costume design also is VERY strong.
i think what sets this apart from another historically inacurrate film like the greatest showman is that this film actual tries to tell something meaningfull while the greatest showman doesn't.
also the greatest showman doesn't have such an amazing cast.
at the end of the day i wished i loved this.(also watch my latest film https://boxd.it/aKMnNv )
