Visually arresting but dramatically flat.

Oddly distant and uninvolving for such a blazing subject.

This isn't the usual Civil War tale of learning to respect a man regardless of his race.... It's about how true freedom comes from love, from respect, and from self-sacrifice.

The intriguing (if not always successful) result is an oddly contemplative picture about a horribly bellicose time.

The film is less than the sum of its parts.
