Did this receive good reviews because of societal pressures? It wasn't anything special, tbph.

Haven't seen this nor The Help. How do they compare to 12 Slave, or other racebait flicks like, I don't know, Malcom X or Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?

Literally no one talks about it so probably.
A stark reminder of how our country is horrible and all white people are racist.
It actually got totally BTFO by historians who said they got LBJ wrong. That's why it wasn't nominated for many Academy Awards.

Typical /tv/ thinking they're oppressed by black dicks.
Here's a hint: anything historical gets a head start from critics. Remember Elizabeth and the King's Speech? absolutely bland movies, but leniency for historical flicks is the norm.
You guys need to get black dicks out of your heads.

no one's thinking of black dicks but you

Personally, I don't really give a fuck about historians. If they want history, they can watch a doco or read a book. I don't care how much twisting of history is involved if the film is good.
That being said, Selma is an alright film. Not amazing, but I didn't hate it.
