This is Ms. DuVernay's best work! Thank you for bringing this truth to light. Everyone in the world should see this movie.

Like nothing I’ve seen before. A movie and a piece of scholarship about what divides us. Deeply moving.

Beautiful, sad, and thoughtful, this take on Isabel Wilkerson’s journey writing Caste should be seen by everyone! Excellent performances! I particularly appreciated how the different stories and systems were woven into the movie. Must see! 5 stars

It’s a very thought provoking film. If you’re into that kind of movie, then you’ll love it. I did.

This rating is based on after the first 40 minutes. This is a movie they would put on in history class back in school. Very informative but ultimately not why I go to the theatre. Too long, too slow. But finished better than it started.

This moving story weaves personal grief with the aching traumas of the oppressed of today and the past. It illustrates the global damages of hierarchy and the age old caste system. I can’t count the number of tears I cried, but feel I’m better for having watched this important work.

This should be required viewing. I didn't know what I was getting myself into, so have your tissues ready!

Too US centric. Each historical oppression is unique in its nature and trying to loosely tie a connection is a bit silly. Yea, we get it, they all are evil acts what is the point of pointing out the obvious? Stop trying to equate everything in history. Not everything is nor ever will be equal in scale, measure, brutality, length, ferocity etc... just stop. The only great scene in this too long movie is when the German professor tries to bluntly explain to the our writer how her thesis is embarrassingly flawed. The message goes in 1 ear and out the other

Deep, gripping, moving, devastating, in-your-face true to life, filled with love throughout. An important film. Powerful directing and acting.

A powerful film that should open eyes on the history of societies around the world. It is quite long, but in the end you feel educated and pensive on your own place in our world. Well done Ava.
