In my opinion, the performance of John “Divine G” Whitfield by Colman Domingo cements him as one of the best actors working in the industry today
Seeing all these real people get to display their passion for acting by rehearsing their lines and being in their characters in an unforgiving and harsh environment really makes this to be a powerful and inspiring watch. Such an underrated film and deserves so much more attention during this award season.
Not only does this serve as an immense critique of the American justice system but it also shows how something as simple as performing a play for your fellow inmates can unite all sorts of people together.
Watching everyone get to come out of their shells, have fun and enjoy themselves in such a place creates such an indescribable emotional reaction, those last 15 - 20 minutes (including the credits) were EVERYTHING.
Such an incredible film, created on the true passion of cinema, this is a film that more people need to see.
