Too bad Silver Dollar Road isn't as good as it could be. Its subject needs to be more widely known. I became aware of the issue from reading an article copublished by ProPublica and The New Yorker in 2019: "Their Family Bought Land One Generation After Slavery. The Reels Brothers Spent Eight Years in Jail for Refusing to Leave It." (https://features.propublica.org/black-land-loss/heirs-property-rights-why-black-families-lose-land-south/). Maybe the documentary despite its flaws will serve to increase public awareness of this awful injustice.

I wasn't quite sure what your comment about it was, but: I HAVE NEVER EVER in my life flat out hated a movie more than I hated Whiplash. I could go on a long time about this anyone really wants to know why.

Wow! Look at the cast for "His Three Daughters." I cannot wait to see that one. Carrie Coon was fabulous in Hulu's "The Boston Strangler" and I just adore her on "The Guilded Age." Elizabeth Olsen won me over in "Wind River" and "I Saw the Light" (bio on Hank Williams).

The hair and sweater on Dominic Sessa‘s character are definitely spot on.

Happy to read about so many promising movies. I hope that some of them will make it to my corner of the world.
