    Well done but tired and unimaginative

    I think this movie was about average, despite good actors and production. For me, too much talking and unnecessary scenes made for a less interesting story... and some of the Chicago accents were annoyingly overexaggerated. I'm not sure why it had to be a period piece either (early 70s I guess), but the main theme seemed to be "How bigotry was even worse back then" which, while sometimes it serves the story or is a necessary part of it, isn't enough of story in itself to be interesting. There are thousands of them already. It may evoke viewers' emotions but it's as cheap as a girl in a horror movie looking for her dog alone in the woods at night. Yawn. Full disclosure: I didn't finish this one.

    Very good

    I really enjoyed this movie. Being mixed with black and Mexican I can never be able to imagine what minorities had to endure during those times. It was an emotional movie. The acting was great and it had me very grateful for being able to watch it. The end did leave me with a cliffhanger.

    A Sleeper Surprise Very Relevant Today

    I thought the description sounded interesting and was filled with great cast members but I have to say that as the story unfolded I was stunned at the relevance and effectiveness of the storyline to what is going on in our world today. I lived through this time period and the movie makes you feel like you were actually there and feeling the rawness. It serves as an excellent piece of cinematic work. The even more spectacular part is that I have not heard of the film before today. It really is a such a gem and I think all persons, especially teenagers should watch it to gain such powerful perspective.

    Looker Deeper

    This film is certainly one that could be used in the school classroom. A period film with excellent acting with sets demonstrating skilled production, the narrative paces itself well with actors who hold immersive and demanding roles. Great film and I really do thank all involved in it's production.

    Slightly underwhelming

    Set in 1974 Boston, the film centers on police officer Bill Coughlin, who is tasked to protect a couple of black students as they are bussed into an all-white high school, Coughlin being also under the pressure of a local crime boss. In the same time, Wendy Robbins, a 18-year-old student and her father Lamont, are caught in the middle of some violent protests on the streets, while Kate, Bill's teenage daughter, is faced with her own racist attitude.

    The Walk is a 2022 historical drama film based on true events about the 1974 Boston desegregation busing crisis. Directed by Daniel Adams from a script he co-wrote with George Powell, the film stars Justin Chatwin, Terrence Howard, Jeremy Piven, Lovie Simone and Malcolm McDowell.
