2 stars (Good Try) Because it portrays a reasonably well known and documented story it loses much of its impact. ~Tubbs

5 stars (Exceptional) SELMA movingly tells the true story of how King and others confronted racism & won in Alabama. It's complex vital history well-acted with great music. Watch it to see how the darkest deeds of Trump can be reversed. Extras are a must-see. ~Sandy
