Synopsis:

From IMDb: “Martin Luther King, Lyndon Baines Johnson and the civil rights marches that changed America.”

Poster: B / B

Review: A simplistic advertising tool that has a lot to say without being very detailed about it. A richness of design might have been more compelling.

(#2) New font coloring and some additional information are the only noticeable changes on this design, which doesn’t improve or hinder the original.

Trailer: A

Review: Any student of recent American history should be absolutely drawn to this film, which catalogs a small portion of the entire Civil Rights movement, but one which had more impact than any others. The film looks like it share that necessity of cause.

Oscar Prospects:

This late-breaking competitor should fare well with the Academy. Test screenings have been wildly popular and Ana DuVernay’s star is quickly rising. It could be a key candidate in several races including Best Picture and Best Actor (David Oyelowo).
