An incredibly difficult watch

Till is essential but deeply harrowing viewing.It follows the events and aftermath of the lynching of young Emmet Till and the dogged pursuit of justice by his mother.As you can imagine, the story is incredibly disturbing. It is not an easy watch at all. It is important to note that the violent acts themselves are not shown on screen, however the truly shocking aftermath is shown and this is an image that will never leave you.I don't think much more needs to be said about the story. It speaks for itself and is full of impact, feeling, raw emotion, and power.This is backed up by the brilliant performances. Jayln Hall is superb in capturing the boyish charm and excitement of young Emmett. But really this film is all about Danielle Deadwyler as his mother, Mamie. She is superb. Her performance will break your heart.An essential film that must be watched.

deserves a nomination

It's 1955 Chicago. Mamie Till-Mobley (Danielle Deadwyler) is a widower trying to protect her son Emmett (Jalyn Hall) from everyday racism. She is concerned as Emmett joins relatives in Mississippi for vacation. Sure enough, his interaction with a white woman leads to his lynching.I don't want to be insensitive, but this movie is not really doing anything new. There isn't much that I didn't know before. It's interesting that they show the whistle. Mostly, I am concentrating on the performance of Danielle Deadwyler and her lost of the Oscar nomination. I've seen all the nominees at this point. I think I can have her replace Michelle Williams. Deadwyler is mostly doing stoic dignity with a couple of big acting scenes. Williams is doing good work, but she's not the lead in the movie. Both are great performers. Deadwyler has the bigger role.
