<PERSON>
"No Full Review
Based on true events, "Rustin" follows gay civil rights activist, "<PERSON>" (<PERSON>), who uses his natural charm to organize the 1963 March on Washington, despite backlash from opponents on both sides of the racial debate.
Directed by <PERSON> ("Ma Rainey's Black Bottom"), "Rustin" is a capably made, very well acted, and occasionally funny look at a man who tends to get overlooked when we look back at those involved with the civil rights movement. It's also a pretty conventional, often overly staged biopic that brings very little that's new to the table. It's a fine film on its own (And <PERSON> is great, like he always is), but it's also not near as memorable as it should be." 378
