   Dec 2, 2022 · Emancipation. Two white photographers/abolitionists arrange Peter's posture as he sits in a chair. They ask him to turn his scourged back toward the lens, to move his face to the side. The lens pushes in on him, and a totem for the ravages of virulent racism engraved across his body comes into view.

   Is 'emancipation' a good movie?

   • Anchored by an ultra-focused and unusually low-key Will Smith as Peter, “Emancipation” can be an intense and at times almost unbearable thing to watch, presented in meticulously composed, nearly black-and-white frames, desaturated to the point of Civil War photographer Matthew Brady’s grim battlefield tableaux.

   Is 'emancipation' a B-movie?

   • “Emancipation” corrects that, putting searing images to what Peter and millions of other enslaved people endured. But it is also an adventure-style survival saga, and on that level, the movie seems reluctant to entertain at times, despite a host of B-movie contrivances.

   Is emancipation a sad movie?

   • Like that film, “Emancipation” is unblinking in its depictions of intentional and capricious sadism; here, men are driven to work until they fall, their bodies tossed in a mass grave.

   Is the movie 'Emancipation' half bad?

   • In terms of action, [Emancipation] is not half-bad. However, when considering it in the context of the emerging field of slave narratives, the lack of nuance appears not only lazy but exploitative. Emancipation aspires to be the strong surprise of the year but doesn’t fully come together. Smith delivers an excellent performance, which might even be his best.
