First time director and already acting legend Regina King may have just missed out on an Oscar nomination but she does a superb job helming this 2012 stage play adaptation, about an imagined meeting, in 1964, of four of the most prominent African-Americans alive. An outstanding script delves with enormous complexity and depth into the civil rights era and racial politics to a level not seen before in film. Top notch acting caps off a film that is everything Da 5 Bloods isnt.
