It is 127 minutes long or 2 hours and 7 minutes long. It is directed by Theodore Melfi.
The movie’s average audience score for Rotten Tomatoes is 93% with over 50,000 reviews, with surprisingly mixed reviews but overall all good things about the movie.
A quote from Metacritic says, “Excellent film with stellar performances from Costner, Spencer and Monae. Taraji P. Henson, however, delivers her finest cinematic work yet!”
I would recommend this movie as a must watch, I give it a 10 out of 10 because the movie keeps you on the edge of your seat all throughout the movie wondering and asking yourself, Why, and how could they do that?. It has a great cast behind it and the writing is not bland at all and delivers stellar Monologues from many of the actors. It also teaches valuable lessons on how to be kind to one another and treat everyone with respect and equality.
