Alone is crackerjack white-knuckle entertainment, and personally I cannot wait to see it again.

As excellent as the performances might be and as competent as the filmmaking undeniably is, this story never rang true to me, and I can’t help but believe that even under the best of viewing conditions Blackbird would have left me frustratingly cold.

Antebellum is noticeably striking in several ways, but it’s also sickening and disheartening in so many more.
