'Women of the Movement' cannot decide which story to focus on: Mamie standing up against injustice, endearing mother-son relationship, guilt of Mose Wright, how Mississippi and South are corrupted, or what really happened between Carolyn Bryant and Emmett Till at the store. The stories are everywhere, unorganized. Of course, a show can can cover as many stories as possible, but it has to have backbone. I cannot understand how Carolyn Bryant is portrayed and how much attention she gets. Also, what about Mose Wright's emotional and touching reunion with family? Why does it get so much highlight? The show spends so much time on that insignificant storyline.
A lead actress's performance is dreadful. She 'acts' the whole time. I can never see Mamie Bardley but Adrienne Warren the whole time. It's like turning on and off switch. Anger, sadness, depression.. No connection between each feeling. She keeps the same frowning face among anger, sadness, and depression. She is not charismatic enough to lead AT ALL.
One of those shows that explains too much and shows too little. Very disappointing.
