David Oyelowo does an excellent job as Dr. King with a strong and demanding presence but also channels a fragile side when needed. Juggling the ugliness of the times and the stirring speeches without ever losing it's impact makes for some gripping cinema. While it educates the viewer of time we shouldn't forget it never feels too dry or like we're being force-fed. There's many films like this but it never hurts to be reminded, especially in this day and age, where many of the topics covered are sadly still quite relevant.

My favorite part about Nutting this film was discovering the majority of the folks who ended up with the tags were white.
I'm wondering about that.
The casting ideas got me wondering and thinking "why?".
