Selma (Ava DuVernay, 2014)

7/10
Following The Theory of Everything and The Imitation Game in the "true stories told well" category this year is Selma, which was everything I thought it would be and little more and I could probably copy and paste my review from the Imitation Game in here and there wouldn't be much change. I liked Selma a little bit more as it was still more emotionally engaging than IT and its lead performance was much, much better but it's still not a movie that's particularly memorable or notable for any one reason. So I'll say what feels like something I've said a lot about the Best Picture finalists this year: well told, well acted, well scripted, well shot...nothing much else to say.
