In Mamie's poignant journey of grief turned to action, we see the universal power of a mother's ability to change the world; "An impassioned melodrama on the surface, unafraid of facing tragedy head-on and allowing ample space for grief, anger, and fear, but which is also a wise movie about the complicatedly political world Mamie Till finds herself in."--Rolling Stone; "An engrossing Civil Rights drama that could turn its little-known star into an Oscar winner."--Newsday; "In her terrific performance as the mother of Emmett Till, Danielle Deadwyler wrestles a ghastly American tragedy into a story of resilience crucial to the civil rights movement."--Variety UR - https://thumbnail.midwesttape.com/15390121_180.jpg ER -
