This is speculative hyperbole based on not very much fact. This book is biased and contains half truths but it is still a valuable read. Long term effects research is being conducted now. Results of that research are still to come.

I thought aspects of it implied his "mentor" was using him and was not totally interested in his best interests. It was not an equal relationship, and William rarely was clear about what he wanted.

Probably if you have suffered a serious emotional blow recently, this will be a valuable read. Otherwise it is repetitive and just like a soap opera.

It is a little choppy in places but the team of actors did Oscar winning work.
There is a bit of history at the end of the film. It took 67 ? years after this lynching for the US to pass an Anti-Lynching Law.
