steve d 07/17/2020 James Earl Jones gives his best performance. See more 03/27/2019 Great performance from James Earl Jones and Jane Alexander. But thats it. I am surprised at how choppy and TV sized Ritt’s direction and narrative is. Looks and feels episodic, overlit, and small. Alexander’s part is essentially a supporting one in HIS story, but Oscar often has to nominate female supporting parts as leads. See more 02/28/2019 Complex and outstanding! See more 02/01/2019 The best sports movie ever made! With the best movie character ever portrayed: James Earl Jones as Jack Jefferson! See more 10/21/2016 This is an unusual film - one which is nearly impossible to properly understand and place in context. On the surface this is a historical tale of racial differences in a very public forum. But this was also presented in a time of great upheaval in human rights. Then there's a third level of a present day viewer's interpretation. How do we relate to the issues of race, love, moral dignity, and living with the weight of public perception?
