I think we liked this story of the clash and eventual friendship between a black woman and a Klansman in 1971 Durham NC with Taraji P. Henson and Sam Rockwell heading up the big cast.
The ticket stub, dated 4/9/2019, turned up in my jacket pocket about a week ago.
Robin Bissell makes his directing and writing debut in an adaptation of the 1996 book The Best of Enemies: Race and Redemption in the New South by Osha Gray Davidson, which chronicles the two real people, Ann Atwater and C.P. Ellis.
Marcelo Zarvos's soundtrack can be streamed on Spotify and Apple Music and I probably liked the songs, fifteen of which are listed here. Someone went to the trouble to make a 56 song playlist on Spotify.
Henson was last blogged for What Men Want, Rockwell for Richard Jewell, and Zarvos for The Land of Steady Habits.
Rotten Tomatoes' critics aren't too friendly towards this, averaging 53%, but its audiences come in at 76. As of this writing the movie is available by subscription on Hulu and Showtime and for a fee on Amazon Prime.
