Emancipation (2022)
3/10
cartoon with real people, just another slavery movie money grab.
14 December 2022
This looked like it might have been good but it quickly became clear this was just a trite blockbuster pinned to the very real story of US slavery.

The first half was a thriller chase through the swamps, with the obligatory nasty slave owners behaving badly and being caricature nasty, easy to hate, no depth, no attempt made at depth or background.

This was just a cartoon with real people.

It got boring really quickly when it became apparent that this was just going to be a cat and mouse chase movie. Way too long, way too over done, way.

Let's be honest, this really isn't the topic for entertainment, so unless you've got something new to say, something worthwhile, maybe just don't make a movie on this topic.
