Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Right up the alley of anyone who likes secrets inside secrets and lovers of period drama. Nobody is quite who they seem. A good follow-up to Selma or Ford v Ferrari. The costumes and settings are a feast on their own.
The mood
Thoughtful and character-driven.
The pace
Lets scenes breathe, at 1 hr 58 min.
What might put you off
  • Rated PG. Worth a look first if you have very young kids.
  • Not the one if you want explosions or easy laughs.

This made-for-TV movie dramatizes the historic boycott of public buses in the 1950s, led by civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
