Nominated for Best Actor at this year's Oscars, Colman Domingo is slowly but surely becoming an A-list actor. Whilst not the favourite to win in March (It's a two horse race between Cillian Murphy and Paul Giamatti) he clearly demonstrates that he is an actor on the rise. Having been rumoured to be taking over the role of Kang from Jonathan Majors in the MCU after having seen this movie, I welcome Domingo's chance to play the role.
Rustin, very much like Bob Marley: One Love is a biopic with a very strong central performance in a movie that's in itself is good just not great. It is well directed and well acted, but the movie never catches fire, unlike the turn from it's lead performer.
With the exception of a fictional affair with a married pastor, it is a faithful retelling of an important story featuring a person who before this movie I did not know existed.
It's a solid if unremarkable movie with a dynamite turn from Domingo.
Verdict: Good...but not Great
