Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom

A really, really good (almost great) biopic featuring and strong and dignified performance by Idris Elba in the title role. The drama forgoes a Forrest Gump style “history’s greatest hits” and instead focuses on Mandela’s personal relationships and the different fighting styles between him and his wife. The result is a highly emotional drama, but one that may leave audiences wanting a little more historical resonance.
