Mississippi Burning Reviews

On the one hand, it takes a messed up real moment in history and turns it into a white savior movie, however it made for an interesting fictional story

You have never seen Willem Dafoe play such a “normal” character

nice writing

This is amazing and a masterclass in acting by Hackman

A fantastic insight into the racial division of early 1960s Mississippi. Gene Hackman and Willem Defoe, as always absolutely kill it in their roles, giving performances of a lifetime. A must see for anyone interested in this period of American History.

7.3

Good movie, too irritating for rewatches

It’s disturbing, but impactful. I felt like I was emotionally and spiritually invested in the feds pursuit of justice in segregated Mississippi. Beautiful film.

Very good

Cool film that had the most stacked cast ever of only consisting of legendary actors.
The plot was on point and my favorite part was Gene Hackman’s performance, he just stole the show.

El final jode que flipas

Great movie, i wrote an essay about this movie

8.2/10

Great actors

true story

RIP Gene.

Feels like a blend of the non-Lovecraftian True Detective elements and the procedural racially charged investigation of Mindhunter S02.

Idk it was decent but I already get it, racisms really darn bad! Don’t do it! “Too much racial hatred” — Operation Ivy or something

Amazing
