A great movie that's based on a true story that still rings true to this day. African Americans are incarcerated 5x more than whites and are given 3x longer jail sentences than white people that commit the same crimes. It's sad that In 2020, a person skin complexion can still be a factor in society.

Anyway, Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Foxx were phenomenal in this movie.

A solid legal drama that has some great acting from Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Foxx. Other than that it is nothing special.

It highlights the shocking social injustice that some people receives. I am glad that there are people fighting for them, The story is emotional and very gripping. The film just shows how messed up our judicial system is and does a great job with good acting and story telling.

The film is something close to perfect. It brings fundamental discussions and treats them with due care, but without leaving aside the combat.

Too many period inaccuracies within the dialogue took me out of the movie watching experience. This, coupled with mannerisms that are more likely to be seen in the last 20 years instead of the 80's made it a difficult watch. I can't say for sure who is to blame for that, the writers, the director, Michael B. Jordan or all of the above.

All that said, the subject matter was more compelling than anything. That alone was enough to evoke emotion.

The period inaccuracies? There was in the 90's a lot more fake niceties than the 80's. Plus the story wasn't about those fake people or their threats. The subtlety wasn't missed, as the courthouse seating scene allowed. It just wasn't played up. Starting in the 90's we saw a huge shift away from racism... only to watch it reemerge from the closets in the last 20 years with a vengeance. Things like this case have people hope, and now it needs to be told to bring us back to where we were then to get us where we should already be now.

I haven't cried this much over a movie in a long time. This is one of those films that feels larger than its medium, jumps out at you and grabs that which makes you human. I can't believe it didn't get a single Oscar nomination. This deserved enough hype to make everyone around the world tune in to watch it. Vital, immense and so so so important. And of course, memorable performances from Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Foxx who delivered arguably the best supporting performance of 2019.

What an amazing movie, with so many great actors, especially Michael B Jordan and Jamie Foxx, They should've waited a few months with the release cause now i truly feel it got snubbed by the Oscars. This is the kind of best picture movies we're used to and alas again based on a true story. So weird that in a land of hope and dreams people are still wrongly accused based upon the color of their skin. Not sure if it's the same way here in the Netherlands, but America should be ashamed of itself since it still happens, you'd think they would've learned by now. The story is good and reminded me a bit of "a time to kill"which is also an amazing movie! Will watch this one again when it's available on Netflix, it was a long movie but i never got bored, only angry with the injustice that was done.

In a perfect world we shouldn't need a Bryan Stevenson, but this world is far from perfect and we are thankful for his existence. And Btw - great performances from Michael B Jordan and Jamie Foxx.

Amazing eye-opening film about the injustices caused by a very bad judicial system. For someone with limited knowledge about the what was actually experienced, this was very disturbing and enthralling to witness.

Also, the quality of the film it's self was on-par as well, I am surprised it didn't get any Oscar nominations.
