Selma

SF: There are many things I enjoyed about this film particularry the direction. The acting was perfect, I totally forgot the fact David Oyelowo was in Spooks and bought into his portray of Dr King completely. The tone of the film is subtle and incredibly poignant. This managed to depict the events in an engaging but never over sensationalised way. One I'd highly recommend. 8/10

50Eggs: n/a

DonkeyB: It is a compelling and well acted story about an absolute giant of 20th Century history. Despite knowing much of what the film was about and the context of the film I was moved by it. And in view of the barrage of reviews of comic book films to come over the next few weeks and months I would be remiss if I didn't point out that you can read Representative John Lewis co-created comic books about the civil rights movement. 8/10

Overall: 8/10
