The true test of its efficacy will be how much it motivates viewers after the credits roll. It's an admirable aim, but the project itself feels disposable.

Rated: C

It's a deeply personal narrative but hopefully one that spark further discourse.

Easy to pigeon-hole as a true-life women-in-peril drama, Flint is entirely non-exploitative and honorable in its intentions and largely average in its execution, elevated mostly by a splendid ensemble of actresses.

Flint is made loosely along the lines of the typical Lifetime television movie. It is a rather bland and tepid picture of "female empowerment" and ultimate "triumph."

This movie was great. Queen Latifah, Betsy Brandt, Rob Morrow, Jill Scott, and the rest of the cast did a fantastic job in this movie. This movie based on a true story was very dramatic and inspirational. It's about fighting for your family's safety as well as the community. The mayor and politicians behind this scandal should spend the rest of their lives in prison for not acting on fixing the water supply. This is a movie that everyone should see. Check it out sometime.
