Movie Reviews

While John Lewis was a lovely man, this film is a snooze

I found this film to be rather slow and plodding. It would likely have helped a great deal to focus more on the civil rights activism of John Lewis in the 1960s than on the man himself. On balance, I am quite happy to have watched John Lewis: Good Trouble, but I am unlikely to recommend it to others.

Great moment, and fluff

There are many good parts in this movie, mostly those dealing with Lewis's career in civil rights, but also scenes with his brothers and sisters talking about the effects of his activism on his family.

There is also too much filler, political figures like Pelosi and Hillary Clinton talking about Lewis's influence on them. Who cares?

If this movie had been reduced to 60 minutes, rather than the 90 of its current length, it could have been one very impressive documentary. I know it's hard to cut footage, but what this movie desperately needs is an objective editor.
