Olivia N *no spoilers* Some critics seem to not understand how violent slavery was, as is portrayed in the film. It's not a classic horror film in the way most people think of when they think "horror," I think thriller is a better category. The plot is wild and it makes you sit on the edge of your seat. I went into the film knowing about the plot twist and still really enjoyed it. No it's not a perfect plot, but neither are most movies' plots, and I didn't have a problem suspending my disbelief as necessary. I think the most angry critics just get a kick out of being far more harsh on this movie than I imagine they'd be towards most others. The ending is really satisfying, but one of the final shots of it brings home the point of the film really poignantly and depressingly. I think it would've been improved if it was a bit longer and spent a little more time fleshing out the system of the plantation and all the supporting cast, and a little less spent on the twist. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/03/25 Full Review Audience Member The cinematography is fantastic and the story is really well driven, the ending is a complete plot twist that quite literally left my jaw dropped. Excellently written and played! Y’all who’s rating it bad must’ve not watched it. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/27/25 Full Review Breeze P Amazing movie with a powerful message. Antebellum had me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Those who don’t like it, it either struck a cord, or they missed the message. if you were uncomfortable while watching, good. You were supposed to be. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/27/25 Full Review Brad B Confused and ineffective. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/25/25 Full Review Kai H Very badly underrated movie; I suspect that a lot of the low rankings come from the fact people could not follow or understand the plot, which, admittedly, could have been shot a little better, but it was still a wonderful punch to the gut and I was cheering for the main character. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/19/25 Full Review Rosana B Qualquer semelhança com Deus, Pátria e Família não é mera coincidência… O filme é tão real e tão absurdo, estou catatônica com o desfecho. Estava a pensar quando irá começar o terror, uma introdução forte, mas alongada, e quando nos demos conta o terror é mesmo a escravidão vivida, sem spoiler, mas o horror desse momento pavoroso vivido pela maioria dos países, é uma eterna macula na sua áurea, ainda hoje, e dói na alma… Uma produção caprichosa, se não funciona como terror, o faz em drama… Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 04/23/25 Full Review Read all reviews
