The most redundant line in the movie, by far, was the dedication, at the end, to the memory of the title character's mother. I mean the film should have been called "Saint Mamie" since the pedestal upon which the heroine is placed by director Chinonye Chukwu is of the size and height usually reserved for beatification and John Ford women. As for the rest of the characters they fall into two, well demarcated camps. The African Americans are all placed on lesser pedestals while the Caucasians are, without a single exception, depicted as vile, racist, sneering, Coke swilling scumbags. And so we leave the world of good vs evil for the Hollywood world of good vs evil caricature. And we are the lesser for it. Give it a C plus (mostly for Danielle Deadwyler's acting skills, which are considerable and who was jobbed out of an Oscar nomination).
