David Oyelowo
The Paperboy (2012)
Like
Anatomy of a Murder
,
The Graduate
, and Daniels' own
Precious
rolled into one wacked-out bloody Southern Gothic that's considerably less than the sum of those parts...
Lee Daniels' The Butler (2013)
Despite admirable work from Whitaker and Winfrey,
Lee Daniels' The Butler
is nearly crushed by its own symbolic weight and its contrivance of a central character arc from keeping one's head down to learning to stand up.
A Most Violent Year (2014)
An unsettling examination of moral drift, over a year in the life of a man and a generation in the life of a country.
Selma (2015)
Selma
is wet paint Americans (especially young ones) had probably best watch dry, as we remember the past and contemplate where the country goes from here.
Queen of Katwe (2016)
A co-production of Disney and ESPN Films,
Queen of Katwe
unsurprisingly has a calculated quality to it...What’s thrilling is the story’s girl power, with Phiona described as an aggressive player of 'astonishing power.'
