An important historical event doesn't have the impact it should have in this film. That isnt to say the film is bad...its just lacking in real power.

[Netflix] Treats an important topic from a different perspective, and sometimes has script details that are notable and that allow Colman Domingo to be the main support of the film. It's interesting the treatment of Bayard Rustin's double struggle against the system because of his blackness, but also within the black community because of his homosexuality. But it is a biopic surprisingly lacking in emotion, except in a few flashes of great acting, too academic to transcend beyond a (necessary) history lesson.

A conventional by-the-numbers message picture. The whole movie builds up to the march and when it finally comes I'm like "that's it? Bad green screen background?" Also, stop trying to make Chris Rock a serious actor, ffs.

Great acting by Colman Domingo in an otherwise okay movie. Would be 5,5 or 6 without his performance for me.

Unsung heroes often don’t get their day. Fortunately, however, for civil rights activist Bayard Rustin (Colman Domingo), principal organizer of the 1963 March on Washington, he’s finally getting his due in this new biopic about the many challenges he faced in bringing this event into being.

Colman Domingo is pretty good as the eponymous, gay, civil rights organiser who not only had the problems of his colour, but of his fairly open sexuality to deal with as he tries to organise a massive march to the American Capitol. The goal of the march is to keep the pressure on the Kennedy adminis More
