I watched this movie last night. I give it a grade of C. I empathise with the rascism they had to endure, it should not have been like that, but that was life and reality back in the day. The ladies proved they could move the mail, yet in the movie it didn't show too much of that, only the white on black struggles. One scene showed a male placing a sack full of letters in the back of a vehicle. Now, being an ex-postal dude, myself, I know for a fact this is inaccurate. That particular bag probably had 50-70 pounds of letters in it, yet this military person gently placed it into the truck. Yea, riiiiiight. The movie clipped along at a pretty good pace, the love interest in the beginning was..unnecessary. I just wanted to see how they sorted and moved the mail (spent two hours hoping to see that but was disappointed). Is it a movie that needs to be seen? Naw, just imagine what a movie about a bunch of POCs being trodden down by the Man would be like and that is what the movie really is. Skip it and you won't have missed anything.
