Gritty and bleak are the best words to describe this film. There’s nothing happy about it.
Seeing that the film was essentially his first big, mainstream feature, and with garnering a leading role — portraying the revolutionary ball-player Jackie Robinson — Boseman, without question, delivered a performance that is still so incredibly moving, respectful, genuine, and true to the core of his obviously sincere, artistic heart; and with that, it is indeed so saddening to see him pass.
Although Christmas is a time of year for love and cheer for all, holiday cinema has not always represented diverse communities.
