A Masterpiece!

In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

A fine mockumentary production which reflects faith in good old, down- home, painstaking hard work and passion.No idea why this languishes in the IMDb 6.x ratings doldrums; I can only guess it has to do with a kind of genre "offset"; like there's a ceiling for the cred due to any mockumentary.This is a marvelous production; and I'm not just trotting out that word gratuitously: I literally marveled ceaselessly from beginning to end. Productions of this nature are burdened with an expectation of almost supernatural ingenuity, and this flick carries that burden with a kind of iron-fisted grace. It's tough satirical medicine, reaching over the wall of your sensibilities to surprise you and get a dark chuckle out of you, and seems to do so with finesse and agility. It's a rollicking cavalcade of expositional ingenuity.Lovely tech work; sound, editing, emulation of "period" media, and all the rest of it.The only (possible) remonstrance might be in the area of acting: There's lots of either bad acting, or skillfully rendered bad acting by wonderful actors. And this contrasts with direction of "real" persons (typically on-screen historical experts, or politicians) which is done with aplomb.Check it out!

He produced this one, but it's filled with his touch: 'CSA' is graced with all the subtlety and intelligence of a surly chimp squatting in a mud puddle. At some point, satire must be based on something like reality. So the South takes over and REQUIRES everyone in the country own slaves? Things are gonna get crowded for all them po' folk in Manhattan studios and one-bedrooms. This isn't satire; it's malicious propaganda by a lackluster filmmaker elevated to star status not because of his artistry or even popularity, but because his vision matches the stagnant 'progressive' worldview so beloved by corrupt, creatively arid Hollywood. Do yourself a favor and pass on this. We've been told that ANYTHING bashing white people is "brilliant" and "insightful". Buy into that crock, and you'll looove this charmless garbage.

CSA is a "historical documentary" interspersed with TV commercials. Pretty pathetic movie, actually. I didn't finish watching it because the people who made it were too lazy to study history and interpolate future events from the WORLD of 1863. There are humorous episodes, but the history isn't there. For instance, a win for the south wouldn't have prevented war in Europe; without US intervention the Kaiser would've been in charge of Germany in 1932, etc. C'mon- a BERLIN WALL stretching from sea to shining sea? They didn't come up with ANYTHING original. If they had simply made a comedy or drama that portrayed a 21st century CSA, that might have been really interesting.

The movie once you get to the end was okay. The execution hard to sit through, one reason is some question if the south would have had won what would this land be. America wouldn't be the home of the free so some of the contributed from Black American, South American, and American immigrates who arrived here through Elise Island would not exist. Plus how big would The CSA population be? I was confused. I'm sure some American wish the south would've won and that unsettling enough. This movie wasn't entertaining or doesn't present the question well enough. Living in America for myself Black female seem to make no difference if the South would've won it just be more acceptance to Keep Black American as slaves
