The Best of Enemies

...is another feel-good movie about those darn racists.

Leads Henson (barely recognizable under a mountain of Tyler Perry-esque practical makeup) and Rockwell turn in top-notch, emotion-laden performances, buoyed by a supporting cast of equally fine character actors.

...tells a fascinating story backed up by solid, compelling performances by Sam Rockwell and Taraji P. Henson.

...is perhaps the first account of the United States’s traumatic racial history that could be adapted into a sitcom.

...does just about everything that a message movie should without losing sight of that other element that has nourished movies ever since they began – being entertaining.
