CL RECOMMENDS
CL Critic Curt Holman Recommends: Atlanta actor Danielle Deadwyler, a supporting scene-stealer in last year’s The Harder They Fall, takes on a major leading role as Mamie Till-Mobley, the mother of Emmet Till, notoriously lynched in 1955 Mississippi. Featuring Frankie Faison and Whoopi Goldberg, the film tracks Till-Mobley’s long efforts to bring her son’s killers to justice. — CH
From the venue:
Till is a profoundly emotional and cinematic film about the true story of Mamie Till Mobley’s relentless pursuit of justice for her 14 year old son, Emmett Till, who, in 1955, was lynched while visiting his cousins in Mississippi. In Mamie’s poignant journey of grief turned to action, we see the universal power of a mother’s ability to change the world.
