COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Good Adaptation submitted by majean on June 15, 2019, 11:05am This held very true to the book, if not scene for scene.

Good submitted by zmclaugh on June 27, 2019, 10:16pm A good adaptation of an important book. It doesn't hit every plot point from the book but is nevertheless solid.

Well done submitted by steveiew on July 2, 2019, 5:33pm While this movie did stray a little bit from the book it was still true to the message of the original story. It tells the story of a young black girl, Starr, who witnesses her unarmed friend be gunned down by a white police officer. This movie could be intense for young kids but it is nonetheless important.

Decent film, better book. submitted by manz on July 24, 2019, 11:34am Read the book, then watch the film. Both will punch you in the gut. This is an author to keep an eye on! And follow her on Twitter.

Cried submitted by cmarie2004 on July 27, 2019, 9:42pm I read the book and cried. I watched the movie and cried. The adaption was good with good casting. Worth the read and watch. Like others, there were some things left out that I wish hadn’t,, but the impact is the same.
