Mini Review - Son of the South

Son of the South (out May 20) is set in 1960s Alabama and tells the story of a white college student who becomes part of the civil rights movement. It’s a nobly made film but the dialogue is terribly simplistic in places. So much of it feels over-explained. Grade: C+.
