- GoofsThe 15 September 1955 cover of "Jet" magazine featured Beverly Weathersby on the cover, not Emmett Till and his mother with her fiance' as depicted in the film. The article about Till's horrendous murder, including photos, was featured in the interior of the magazine.

Featured review
It's 1955 Chicago. Mamie Till-Mobley (Danielle Deadwyler) is a widower trying to protect her son Emmett (Jalyn Hall) from everyday racism. She is concerned as Emmett joins relatives in Mississippi for vacation. Sure enough, his interaction with a white woman leads to his lynching.
I don't want to be insensitive, but this movie is not really doing anything new. There isn't much that I didn't know before. It's interesting that they show the whistle. Mostly, I am concentrating on the performance of Danielle Deadwyler and her lost of the Oscar nomination. I've seen all the nominees at this point. I think I can have her replace Michelle Williams. Deadwyler is mostly doing stoic dignity with a couple of big acting scenes. Williams is doing good work, but she's not the lead in the movie. Both are great performers. Deadwyler has the bigger role.
