Not the best of adaptations


The Best of Enemies (2019)

Written & directed by Robin Bissell this film based on real evens stars Taraji P. Henson and Sam Rockwell. A KKK leader and a Black rights activist are brought together to discuss integrating the local schools.

Certainly there is something interesting to explore in these events but this is the most paper thin treatment of the subject matter. The script hits all the expected Hollywood notes instead of offering some real character and nuance. In the end I was disappointed by this film despite it having good intentions.

2/5
