      Pablo Y La trama se centra en los episodios ocurridos en Alabama y Mississippi bajo el contexto de la lucha por los derechos civiles y el fin de la segregación racial, durante la década de 1960. Estos sucesos históricos sirven como telón de fondo para narrar la historia del activista Bob Zellner, así como otras figuras relevantes de la época. El enfoque particular de la película consiste en mostrar estos hechos desde un aspecto más relacionado con la intrahistoria de sus protagonistas, más sociológico, evidenciando la idiosincrasia reinante en aquella época y los problemas derivados de la misma, centrándose en situaciones concretas de ese periodo histórico combinadas, lógicamente, con la estructura argumental elaborada ex profeso para el film. El resultado es una experiencia entretenida y respetuosa a grandes rasgos con la historia real, pero que, en esencia, constituye un eslabón más en el subgénero de biopics de personajes relacionados con causas justas y nobles. Es una verdadera lástima que la película adolezca de un ritmo frenético presente desde su inicio y no cuide su desarrollo con más pausa, detalle y disfrute para el espectador. Pese a ello, el mensaje del film se transmite bien: es claro y potente, y no tiene miedo de alzar la voz en los momentos críticos. En conclusión, se trata de una cinta bien elaborada, que cuenta con caracterizaciones decentes y cumple correctamente con su cometido, por lo que es recomendable su visionado.

      Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times The fight for equality isn't over, and this story is as relevant today... Rated: 3/4 Feb 6, 2021 Full Review Tim Cogshell FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) A movie that misses the point of what the civil rights movement was about. Feb 6, 2021 Full Review Joe Leydon Variety Executive produced by Spike Lee, Barry Alexander Brown's drama features fine performances across the board, and a vivid evocation of a tumultuous period. Feb 5, 2021 Full Review Matthew Pejkovic Matt's Movie Reviews Delivers its point that the fight against racism is one that should be fought across all barriers and by all people. Rated: 3/5 Jun 1, 2021 Full Review Sarah Ward Concrete Playground This by-the-numbers biopic proves both earnestly well-intentioned and blandly formulaic. May 30, 2021 Full Review Jim Schembri jimschembri.com The film plays out as a fine, if unremarkable period drama...the direction gets a little ham-fisted in spots but otherwise paints a convincing picture of Zellner's journey from privileged white boy to defiant man of principle. Rated: 3/5 May 25, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews
