5/5 A Must Have!
  by C. Blount
This is, by far, one of the best movies I have ever seen. Excellent writing, directing, and acting. Even better, it is based on a true story.

5/5 A must-see movie. It has heart and soul.

Just rented this from our library the other day as I'm a big Alan Rickman fan and would probably watch him read an Olive Garden menu and be happy.But I had never seen this movie, not ever having HBO. This movie is outstanding. It's thought provoking,moving, makes you angry at times and so much more. Both Alan Rickman and Mos Def are incredible in their roles.This movie shloud have been in theaters as it's far superior to 95% of the crap that does make to the big screen. I can't recommend this highly enough.

5/5 A movie worth watching

"Something the Lord Made" challenges the viewer to recognize the racial barriers that have denied opportunities to gifted people. It reminds us that many barriers remain. This is a story about the resiliency of the human spirit and the power of personal determination. An outstanding dramatic depiction of a historical journey!

5/5 Powerful

This is one of the best Movies I have ever seen about a true story. It should have been on the big screen, but like Malcom X, The Hurricane, the Pursuit of Happiness and so many other stories about African-American men the best ones are a secret until Now!
