Till (12A)
Dir. Chinonye Chukwu, USA, 2022, 130 mins. Cast. Danielle Deadwyler, Jalyn Hall, Frankie Faison, Haley Bennett, Whoopi Goldberg.
While in Mississippi for a family visit, 14-year-old Emmett Till was kidnapped and murdered after being wrongfully accused of harassing a white woman, Carolyn Bryant. When it became clear that the white establishment was unconcerned with bringing his killers to justice, his mother Mamie turned reluctant activist, her fight becoming a major catalyst for the US Civil Rights movement. Danielle Deadwyler brings deep emotional resonance to her role as Mamie Till-Mobley. As relevant now as ever, Till is intelligent, emotional and gripping from the first shot to the last.
