	Media	Author	Review
		Joe Leydon Variety	"[It] features fine performances across the board, and a vivid evocation of a tumultuous period."
		Ben Kenigsberg The New York Times	"Sometimes absorbing, sometimes mortifyingly tone-deaf"
		Sandie Angulo Chen Common Sense Media	"This is a well-acted history lesson (...) It does offer a reminder to those who would be allies about the importance of standing up to injustice, disenfranchisement, and discrimination."
		Richard Roeper Chicago Sun-Times	"The fight for equality isn’t over, and this story is as relevant today as it was back [then] (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"
