This movie stunk. I can't believe I watched the entire thing.

If you want to see a good civil rights movie, watch Selma.

A good rule of thumb is a movie with the director's name in the title isn't going to be that great.

I thought it was very much a "look how bad whitey was" movie.

I love how this movie didn't get a single nomination for the Oscars. Lee Daniels and Oprah seemed to be confident it would win Best Picture, but the amount of pretentiousness and outright lies in the movie gave even the most liberal people in Hollywood a bad taste in their mouths.

Like for instance it says that Gaine's father was murdered and his mother was raped in front of him as a child by white people, when nothing like that ever happened. That is one hell of an addition to put onto a person's backstory.
