Entertainment Reviews:
Comparisons will inevitably be made to Green Book for its upbeat vibe, but in terms of serious craft and admirable aspirations, this film is more in the league of 42 and Selma.

Chicago Reader
Rating: 2.5/4 --
Takes a micro rather than a macro look at racism in America, (but) avoids many of the pitfalls that Green Book fell into.

The Dispatch (Lexington, NC)
It's impossible to ignore that the film is yet another Hollywood narrative of racial reconciliation centered on a white protagonist-and worse, it's one that seems much more interested in the Klan's white targets than its black ones.

Slate
Bissell, from the start, is interested in perpetrators, not victims, in illustrations of plot points, not curiosity about context.

New Yorker
Rating: 3/4 --
At a horrific point in U.S. history, The Best of Enemies is accomplished enough to allow its humanist message to shine through without any interference.

Film Frenzy
It's predictable and conventional, but it has some powerful moments.

Rating: 5/10 --
Another movie where black people have the burden of making racists understand they are human beings.

Product Description:
Based on the true story of a reluctant partnership between civil rights activist Ann Atwater (Taraji P. Henson) and C.P. Ellis (Sam Rockwell), the leader of the white supremacist group Ku Klux Klan, who came together to discuss the issue of racial desegregation of schools in 1971 Durham, North Carolina, which eventually lead to surprising outcomes for them and the entire community. Directed by Robin Bissell.
