The long walk home (1990) is one of the most powerful films I've ever seen. It is so incredibly meaningful, and reflects how hard times really were racially back in this time period. The performances in the movie is one of the ways this movie is able to be so effective. Whoopi Goldberg and Sissy Spacek are amazing here and why neither of them get nominated for academy awards or golden globes I'll never know. Spacek plays a white housewife in 1950s Montgomery Alabama who has an African American maid (Whoopi Goldberg) that she begins to drive to work during the bus boycott. She starts to become an ally for African American rights, much to the dismay of her racist husband and her even more racist brother in law. It has absolutely wonderful writing that really shows the true message and nature of the film. There is no moment throughout the entire runtime where the film is uninteresting, poorly put together, or weak in its message. I can't believe how very underrated this film is, and I think it's one that everyone needs to see at least once. 9/10 for The Long Walk Home (1990).
