Emancipation - Avaliações

Will Smith gives a harrowing performance.

Smith’s muscular central performance is laudable...

The emphasis on suspense and aesthetics combine to make “Emancipation” an easier sit than one might imagine, given its harsh setting and inhumanity...

Smith delivers an unusually unshowy performance. He speaks with a convincing Haitian accent but, like that Oscar ­appearance, this is a physical performance rooted in defiance and an unwavering glare.

In both his face and physicality, Smith convinces as a man who could survive extreme hardship and sustain a sense of self.

Will Smith’s first post-slap role is an Oscar-worthy thriller.

...a good watch which might help the lead actor in regaining his image.

...if you like your Civil War films light on historicity but awash in alligator knife fights, then Emancipation is the movie for you.

...Will Smith brings a movie-star presence to this brutally violent civil war drama, with a physical stillness and defiantly steady gaze.
