This film made a valiant effort with a decent cast but, unfortunately, the producers were not interested in ponying up the money to full justice to the book. Ava Duvernay seems to have so much hate in her that I can't say I expect her upcoming version to be very good. I hope I'm wrong. 02 June 2019 addendum: I've now seen Duvernay's big budget film and, sadly, it lives down to my low expectations. IMO, the 2003 TV adaptation by Susan Shilliday and John Kent Harrison has a better screenplay and better performances.
