I liked the film for what it was. Regina King shines as Shirley Chisholm and the supporting characters were all great.
My big issue with the film is: how do you make a movie about Shirley Chisholm and completely skip over her fight for women's rights and the E. R. A? That was her focus point and a huge part of her campaign.
Alot of black men didn't want to support her BECAUSE she talked so much about women's rights. It's kinda a key point in her story.
And it's completely glossed over. And how do you skip over her iconic moment on stage on the convention? How?
I liked it for what it was. But it missed so much of her ACTUAL story that bothered me too much for it to love it.
