I didn't know going in that this was based on a true story, and when that info flashed on the screen, I realized that the strength of the movie was "truth". Seeing the South through the eyes of these intellectual, intelligent people who faced huge obstacles because of only one thing-- their colour, was eye-opening. The framework that shaped & limited their lives despite great intelligence and abilities, was so well-told. Acting -- all of roles --were unforgettably played. At times, I found the movie, a little too obviously didactic, (maybe because this is Denzel's first directing role) but nevertheless really worth seeing. The audience applauded at the end. It was deserved.

7/10
