BadNews R “Ride to Freedom” tells the inspiring story of Rosa Parks, brought to life by Angela Bassett in a breathtaking performance. While the film may be older, its impact has not diminished one bit—it remains just as powerful and relevant today as it did upon release. Angela Bassett’s presence alone elevates the film, solidifying her place as one of the greatest actresses of all time. The movie explores Rosa Parks’ struggles, resilience, and the incredible sacrifices she made to spark change for the African-American community. Watching the cruelty and adversity faced during that time is deeply emotional and at times heartbreaking, and it makes you reflect on just how much courage it took to stand firm in the fight for equality. The direction is skillful, perfectly balancing historical authenticity with dramatic weight. The filmmaker captures the essence of this pivotal moment in history, while the screenwriting ensures Rosa’s story stays front and center without ever feeling overshadowed. Angela Bassett’s work is nothing short of phenomenal. Every scene she’s in feels electric, filled with quiet strength and emotional depth. It’s a performance that deserves to be celebrated endlessly, and one that proves again why she is one of the most gifted talents in cinema. “Ride to Freedom” is not just a film—it’s an experience. I highly recommend watching it. Even if you’ve seen it before, it’s one of those rare movies that delivers the same powerful emotions every time you revisit it.
