Marshall Audience Reviews

Kodie Bird True to its essence, the characters remain on the same line and manage to entertain the viewer, each highlighting their own distinctive qualities or touches.

Frances Chung Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

bernadette-53145 A must-see if civil rights movement and anti-racism are your topics. Some great acting, and Boseman is mesmerizing. There's a few brilliant moments - the long long hesitation of the judge, the silent communication between Marshall and the accused man.

Bryan Rathbun Marshall is a great movie that delivers on an old-fashioned courtroom drama. Great story with really good acting from the leads. Great cast overall. So far I have loved every role I have seen Chadwick Boseman play, he is a great actor and has this sort of swagger when acting. Sterling K Brown is great and one of the greatest actors in recent years. It was different but enjoyable seeing Josh Gad in a drama. I wish they would make more of these movies that follow Thurgood Marshall's journey. The only negative thing is that it felt a bit long.

lavatch According to journalist Will Haygood, Thurgood Marshall "trafficked in miracles" in his brilliant legal career. As noted in this film biography, Marshall was the "prime architect of the legal battles for civil rights" in America in the mid-twentieth century. He won 29 out of 32 civil rights cases that he argued before the Supreme Court. In 1954, he won the landmark case of Brown v. the Board of Education that desegregated American Schools. And in 1967, he became the first African-American justice of the Supreme Court.This superb film focuses on the famous 1940 trial of Joseph Spell, the African-American chauffeur accused of raping his white employer, Eleanor Strubing. Working with attorney Samuel Friedman, Marshall served as co-counsel during the trial that eventually resulted in Spell's acquittal.The film is successful in presenting the world of 1940, introducing such figures as Langston Hughes and Nora Zeale Hurston. The dialogue is crisp with such memorable lines as Marshall's succinct goal in his civil rights battles: "It's not the fires I'm after, but the fire itself." A fictionalized scene in a bar in a fight ensues results in a simple statement by a woman that becomes the catalyst for Marshall's understanding of the Joseph Spell case: "Men will be men, and women will be women."The centerpiece of the film was the trial, which unfolded with great realism. It did not seem like a typically Hollywood written court drama, but one that proceeded on the unbalanced court system of the 1940s. The screenwriters took great pains to depict the hurdles faced by Friedman and Marshall in overcoming the prejudice of the prosecuting attorney, the judge, and the jury.

phenominal-18022 It is a great movie, but someone should be brave enough to tell the whole story of Thurgood Marshall. The man should be properly honored for his work. Oh and a book of his cases would be nice too.
