    Wow, wow, wow.....the BEST movie that I have seen in years. The acting was INCREDIBLE. Hats off to Oprah. I was so drawn into her character roll, that I eventually forgot that I was seeing "her"...and grew to feel great empathy for the character that she played. Fabulous cast. Go see it folks!!!!

    The movie was slow and boring. Worst acting part for Oprah that here could be. The last 10 minutes was the only part worth anything. The history of the times bought it to a "real" awakening again. Was not a movie that left you feeling "good" at all

    This movie is REALLY GOOD. It was a bit long, but very touching and the cast was absolutely sensational. You have to be in the right mood to watch it, as it was quite a serious movie BUT there were light-hearted moments of humour as well. Prepare to get teary-eyed at certain parts! Kudos for getting the story out there for those who don't know about the civil rights movement.

    First Nations peoples should watch this and rise up like they did. Still to this day, the overt racism FN people experience is sad.

    Slept through a good part of it; don't know what that says about it. Should probably see it again.
