Emancipation [Opens Dec. 2 in theaters and available Dec. 9 on Apple TV+.] Antoine Fuqua's powerful, gripping, poignant, factually inspired, monochromatic, intense, gut-wrenching, well-acted, moving, violent, 132-minute historical film dominated by striking cinematography and inspired by the 1863 photo The Scourged Back in which a tenacious, insolent, resilient, devout, whipped-scarred Haitian slave (Will Smith), who was separated from his wife (Charmaine Bingwa) and children on a Louisiana plantation, escapes from a military camp during the Civil War while working on a Confederate railroad, finds himself hunted by ruthless, villainous slave trackers (Ben Foster, Ronnie Gene Blevins, and Steven Ogg) in the alligator-infested bayou, and eventually his harrowing, grueling journey leads him to Baton Rogue where he becomes a free man by joining the Louisiana Native Guard in the Union Army.
