I was moved, but not as much as expected. I left the theater feeling immensely sorry for the African American race as a whole. Not just the men, but their entire families. I wanted to say I'm sorry. I want to ask my grandfather in heaven if he did this racist stereotyping when he was a cop in Dayton, Ohio in the 60's. If so, I'm sad. I want to cry for all innocent lives lost to the system. Just really sorry. The movie was a little too slow, and could have been so much more. I felt it lacked a lot, but at the same time appreciated it, and felt it was overall a good film. It frustrated me knowing it could have been more. I wanted more resolution. More stuff with the lawyer. Just more to tell the story fully . I guess it was a love story though. The ending was OK. Just not what I thought. I did like that hope was never lost, and I loved how supportive the fathers were and her whole family overall . Just beautiful. If only all families were that perfect. If we all had that kind of mother. I expected a lot more from the hype, but I did like it, and it was thought provoking, so well worth the watch.
