About

You’ll likely enjoy this epic, moving biography if you want an inspiring civil resistance story and big historical atmosphere; Not for you if you want fast action or a shorter, lighter watch like Malcolm X or Cry Freedom.

Pros: powerful non-violent message; wide historical scope; standout central performance | Cons: long runtime; can feel slow; sometimes hagiographic tone
