Nearly 70 years after Emmett's tragic death, 'Till' underscores the pain as well as bravery in bringing Emmett's murderers to both national attention and trial (even as a mockery of a trial in Mississippi), particularly through [Danielle] Deadwyler's dynamic and transformative performance.

Though 'Till' can not rewrite all of history's wrong, you never doubt the genuineness of Chukwu's intentions. This isn't a salacious film. This isn't taking advantage of Emmett Till's memory for cheap prestige. Rather 'Till' is an urgent and reverent, albeit flawed, pursuit of justice.

It is as noble an execution of tragic historical record as one could hope for within the limits of a biopic ? neither confirmation of doubters nor enough justification to relive it.
