By skimming through reviews on IMDB and going through Roger Ebert's website, the movie was generally well-received. It did not get nominated for any major awards, and I don't think it made the money a blockbuster film would have, but its major themes are ones that are going to resonate with future audiences. This film reminded me of ''Driving Miss Daisy'' because it focused on the relationship between one black person and one white person. None of the characters were monumental to the effect of Rosa Parks or MLK, but it did show how important every single person was to the progression towards racial equality. I thoroughly enjoyed this film and appreciate its message. - David F. | By skimming through reviews on IMDB and going through Roger Ebert's website, the movie was generally well-received.

| − | This movie was amazing. I thought it really communicated the inconceivable injustice of that time and place. Every time I see a movie that depicts the racism of this time, it is still almost unbelievable that those things ever happened, from slavery to segregation. Also, the makeup for the young man that was beaten up was incredibly evocative. Once again, I thought this movie was great. - Wesley Weeks | + | This movie was amazing.
