How can this be Oscar worthy with Greengrass at the helm? His style is atrocious, fine for those with a short memory-span, and remember: his sea-sickness-approach does not apply to all material.

Let's hope it isn't Oscar caliber, meaning it actually treats life with all its many shades, which it should given Paul Greengrass' involvement & the screenplay making the estate uncomfortable for portraying MLK as a human with issues like the rest of us.

MLK is not killed off in the first act. As the Deadline article says, the film intercuts King's final days with the resulting hunt for his assassin. This structural choice by Greengrass brilliantly adds tension and suspense to the narrative. King is the lead in the piece, there the whole time.

If hollywood are going to talk about MLK infidelity, they should have told the truth about Abe Lincoln's racism.
