Boseman gives us one last amazing performance. Great cast all around and cinematography that really makes the confined and dim space seem very vibrant and focused. The problem comes with it being a stage adaptation. Its shorter than than the stage version by almost an hour and it feels like some of its more dramatic moments are rushed in

Just good. Loved seeing Chadwick Boseman one last time (he's fire in this!); but no amount of good performances, sets and costumes can disguise the fact that this is little more than “filmed theatre” (See also August: Osage County and Fences). It’s still worth your time. 3 years 4 months ago -

The performances are amazing but the ending is so bad and forced (the sort of cliché ending "serious" plays have been using for about a thousand years) that it retroactively makes almost everything that came before it a waste of time. I could also tell this was a play even before the credits confirmed it. It does feel like "filmed theatre" but at the very least they could've given us "filmed theatre" with an ending that makes sense. 3 years 2 months ago
