Charming the Hearts of Men (2021)


Written & directed by S. E. DeRose this film stars Anna Friel, Kelsey Grammer, Pauline Dyer and Aml Ameen. Against the backdrop of the Civil rights movement a divorce returns home to find she has inherited only debts from her father.


I'll be honest this film made me very uncomfortable, it may be attempting to be a film about equality but it comes across as rich white woman co-opting the struggle of black people. To what extent the film lives up to its claim of being based on true events I have no idea. At best this is a misguided effort that does not get to grips with its subject matter.


1/5
