This is a good movie, but particularly an important one, especially now, when white supremacy is gaining popularity again.
The intention of showing this story, told more extensively this year in the miniseries "Women of the movement" (ABC, 2022), from the mother's point of view, brings degrees of emotional depth that Danielle Deadwyler explores in a surprisingly stark way. The story, however, is damaged by this overflowing emotion, perhaps intentionally unfocused, making descriptions that sometimes contradict the point of view adopted, such as showing the interaction between Emmett and the white saleswoman. Despite this, it is a film that conveys pain and mourning in a moving way.
Two words. Gut. Wrenching. Gutwrenching.
It is good, but I just couldn't empathize with Mamie nor Bo. And I consider that was important for the film. Why would they portrait the victim as a brat? Danielle Deadwyler's acting was great, though. Interesting plot based on a true case, but I think there are better.
Very well done move. I enjoy watching it extremely. Very saddened that these things of evil man can do. Shameful, real.
But 10/10 movie.
The film itself wasn't particularly amazing, it was pretty solid though. It was powerful and moving in places. The pacing is a bit off in some areas though. With that said, it was a film and story that needed to be told. It primarily focuses on the black community and Mamie Till looking for justice, instead of focusing on the suffering of Emmett Till.
Danielle Deadwyler is once again showing that she is a good actress. The courtroom scene alone will move you.
Like me with my gentle dominatrix begging her to go harder and hurt me more.
Till is a harrowing film that does a good job conveying the history and repercussions of the 14 year old black child who was beaten, shot and then lynched in Mississippi in 1955.
My only regret is that by dragging out the scenes of premonition before the murder and the scenes of grief afterwards, the director diluted the impact of what was on the screen.
Nevertheless, this is still an important film which is easy to recommend.
Till is a heart-wrenching story. Production is topnotch and the performances are fantastic. #DanielleDeadwyleroscarsnub
"Till" is a powerful and moving film that tells the story of Emmett Till, a young African American boy who was brutally murdered in 1955 for allegedly whistling at a white woman. The film is a stark reminder of the tragic and senseless acts of racism that continue to occur in our society. The performances of the actors are excellent, particularly the lead actor who portrays the character of Emmett Till, and the film is expertly directed and produced. Overall, "Till" is a must-see film for anyone who wants to understand the devastating impact of racism on innocent lives and the ongoing fight for justice and equality. It is particularly relevant in the present climate with the increase of racist acts in the world.
Hard to judge this movie, as I often feel that making critical statements facing these important topics could be out of place. It makes no mistakes on this, therefore is to be seen and to learn about. But I wonder whether spending long minutes on the emotional reactions of the character instead than on the fact (for instance the investigations, trial, and subsequent reactions, the latter only summarized in a few minutes) was the right choice.

I know Cate Blanchett and Michelle Yeoh are deservedly the frontrunners for this year's Oscars.
However, Danielle Deadwyler should win because this was an earth-shattering performance. There is a point in the film where I thought the real Mamie Till-Mobley took over Danielle Deadwyler's body. Incredible work.
