Emily Talbott

It is really sad that such an important part of our Nation's history and these laudable women were overlooked were for so long and then unfortunately found by Tyler Perry, who has limited talent and none at all as a writer. Every line that came out of the actors' mouths sounded like they were reading aloud from a Dick & Jane primary school English book. The brilliantly talented cast is undone by puerile writing. It's heartbreaking that someone talented didn't get a shot at this important piece of history.

LEAVE SAM ESMAIL BEHIND I agree with other reviewers who said if they could give this 0 stars if they could. This was such a terrible movie. I can't believe I watched the whole thing hoping its conclusion would make up for the poorly written, overwrought dialogue. The characters were so despicable you want them to die. I was misled by the dreadful Soundtrack O' Doom into believing one or (oh joy!) all of them would explode or get trampled by deer. But all they do is drink and have existential conversations and go out searching for (presumably) a plot. Obviously, they never found one. Sam Esmail just wanted to pontificate about how terrible people are and punish us for our sins using haggard shrew Julia Roberts, terrible pop rock, and inexplicable homages to dreadful '90s sitcoms. Yes, Americans suck (witness the outcome of the recent presidential election) but we're going to have to suffer enough without movies like this being produced by the Obamas, of all people (I thought we could at least trust THEM). Sam Esmail should be locked in a room and made to listen to the Friends theme over and over until the apocalypse (coming soon to a former democracy near you).
