Review
"Selma" is a necessary film, even an essential one, with more than its share of memorable performances and vivid, compelling sequences."--Los Angeles Times"DuVernay's look at Martin Luther King's 1965 voting-rights march against racial injustice stings with relevance to the here and now. Oyelowo's stirring, soulful performance as King deserves superlatives."--Rolling Stone"DuVernay has done a great service with Selma. Not only has she made one of the most powerful films of the year, she's given us a necessary reminder of what King did for this country...and how much is left to be done."--Entertainment Weekly"Intelligently written, vividly shot, tightly edited, sharply acted, the film represents a rare example of craftsmanship working to produce a deeply moving piece of history."--Hollywood Reporter
