2015 Oscar Foreign Language Entry (Full List) | Spotlight | Variety
Selma | Reviews | Variety
 | |||||||||||||
| A half-century on from Martin Luther King Jr.’s historic
voting-rights march from Selma, Alabama to the state capitol in
Montgomery, director Ava DuVernay
revisits those events with startling immediacy, dramatic force and
filmmaking verve in “Selma.” A far cry from the dutiful biopic or
ossified history lesson it could have become in lesser hands (or the
campy free-for-all the project’s original director, Lee Daniels, might
have made of it), DuVernay’s razor-sharp portrait of the civil rights
movement — and Dr. King himself — at a critical crossroads is as
politically astute as it is psychologically acute, giving us a
human-scale King whose indomitable public face belies currents of
weariness and self-doubt. Bolstered by Paul Webb’s literate,
well-researched script and David Oyelowo’s
graceful, majestic lead performance, DuVernay has made the kind of
movie that gives year-end “prestige” pics a good name, which should
equate to considerable box-office and awards-season gold for this Dec.
25 Paramount release. http://variety.com/2014/film/reviews/film-review-selma-1201354433/ |
