The lead actress couldn't speak in an appropriate accent. Extremely distracting. But nonetheless the powers that be nominated her for multiple awards. The movie is very overrated, it's too long. I liked the lead actor and some of the supporting cast. The acting was uneven. It seems the purpose of the movie was to stoke racial hatred. It played with a lot of racial tropes and didn't explore the universal fact of slavery, that every race owned slaves, that every race has been enslaved. This was a major failure and simply places the movie under the category of propaganda and hate mongering with an uneven cast.
