This is an incredible film that I highly recommend to all and an absolute must for lovers of history. I loved this film so much, and as a former teacher, I think this film should be part of the school curriculums as a study of the U.S., as well as a study of the civil rights movement and Martin Luther King. The cast is fantastic. Each actor plays their part in making this film so great. It is hard to believe that we are still fighting for people right to vote and that black people were not allowed to vote in the south until the mid-'60s, a hundred years after slavery had supposedly ended.

Brilliantly acted, well written -- although the relationship with President Lyndon Johnson and the Rev Martin Luther King, Jr, is historically inaccurate--in that King did not force LBJ's hand nearly as much as the 'poetic license' of the movie attribute. Other historians, political scientists have made the same criticism BUT a wonderful video, I use it in my college political science course in the Civil Rights section, with Powerpoints, and an essay assignment, Highly RECOMMEND. drElizabethG
Fantastic movie! Superb acting and directing! This is a great look at one of the most important events of the Civil Rights Movement.

One of the best movies I've seen. David Oyelowo knocks his performance out of the ballpark. Truly magnificent.
