   Apr 5, 2019 · Advertisement. This, dear readers, is what “The Best of Enemies” is about, and I have no problems with that. Truth is sometimes stranger than fiction.

Henson) clashing over school integration with C.P. Ellis ( Sam Rockwell ), the Exalted Cyclops of the North Carolina Branch of the Ku Klux Klan.

   Is 'the best of enemies' a morally myopic movie?

   • A film to attack as morally myopic? Except that “The Best of Enemies,” while not nearly as good as “Green Book,” is a rock-solid movie: squarely deliberate, a little long and predictable, but honest and thoughtful enough, precise in its period and locale, with very strong performances.
