    I'm glad we're honoring black women and how often they're ignored by society and history, but don't get it twisted, this movie is sadly also a large tribute to the white people who, according to the story, weren't that racist. The movie definitely could have been a bit more faithful to reality.
    That being said, Taraji P. Henson, Janelle Monáe and Octavia Spencer deliver solid performances, creating distinct characters with the right nuance for the different scenes.

    Maybe now that I've rewatched the movie, Youtube will stop showing me badly formatted clips in the wrong order with background music that's far too loud.

    A masterpiece of animation, with an incredibly creative story and a romance subplot that accompanies and subverts your expectations.
    The animation medium also offers itself to complement the narrative with absolutely stunning visuals, and I adore how the characters all have subtle differences in animation/drawing style.

    This movie proves Robin Williams should have had more opportunities to play non-comedy roles throughout his career, because he absolutely knocks it out of the park. It is a captivating story that will leave you on the edge of your seat throughout the movie

    An original movie containing a great metaphor about difference, and building a deep incredible atmosphere with unique characters and great set design, adding to the unsettlingness of it all

    Being completely honest, there's a big chance I'm giving this movie a few extra points for being one of the few in my native language that I loved, but acknowledging this fact will not be enough to deter me from giving it 5 stars.
