    It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

    Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

    The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

    First, i found this episod animated and cowed like some scenes such as Kunta Kinte (the leader carachter ) tryed to save his girlfriend's Jinna or Fiddler wanted protect Kunta Kinta. It's enough diferent other movie because the spectator can really enter in the skin of carachter.Also the acting of actors are unbelievable, thank you Malachi Kurby.I watched with my class the first episod of the serie ,almost 2 hours.After, Personally i don't see 2 times the movie.The sound track moving,exciting like the big movie in cinema. There haven't much special effect,damage.For my part the moment the most gloomy is when Kunta Kinta was whipped by the servant of master because he refused to tell his new name in plantation ( Toby).If you have the heart sensitive don't watch this movie.I will prefere watch in full but. I hope that a lot of movie maker will make movie in this genre. You love Roots then buy it. PEACE! XXXT

    Roots is a noteworthy movie about slavery. It is noteworthy because it is really realistic, the African culture is well showed, as well as the cruelty of the kidnappers, black or white. But, because it is so realistic about the bad treatment that white people inflict to the slaves, it's also bloody and sometimes gory, I have no problem with that but some people does. Compared to what I expected, it was way more moving, the actions scene are captivating. So captivating that when it slow down to a calm scene, it become boring. To talk about technical things, the actors are awesome, we can see plenty of emotions and that make the movie a even more epic. But some time emotion scenes, as well play as they are, take too long, maybe it is because of me being a 16 years old teenager interested more in action scene, but I find them boring. There are fine soundtracks, and there are not a lot of special effect, so I have nothing more to say about that. To conclude, Roots was a quite valuable movie, despite the long emotion scene. Some scene were bloody but no big deal. I advice you to watch it if you got some time, it was a good moment watching it.

    Hi! My name is Enzo. I'm 15 and I live in France, in Angers. I'm in first year of highschool of Chevrollier. I really like watch movies and series. Not long ago, I watched "Roots", It's a movie which talk about the slavery. The movie was realised in 2016 by Will Packer & Marc Toberoff. The first part of Roots takes place in Africa near the Bolongo River and the second part is in Virginia, in the US. Malachi Kirloy play the role of Kunta Kinte and He's the son of Omoro Kinte, the leader of Mandinka warriors. I really like this movie because it's an admirable representation. The acting is fabulous, the soundtrack also. The synopsis is superb. The point negatif is the movie is too short.To finish, i really like this film for the history.

    Hi i'm lucas i am 16 years old, on the first year of high school . And today i'm going to do a review on Roots 2016. i'm not a fan of this type of movie but i was surprised ! The actors of this movie or this mini-serie are very amazing, we can feel the distress on her face. The music is fantastic aswell, for me the music represent a big part of the movie and we can hear the same music a lot of time. For bad point i note the little using of special effect on this movie , it's a film of 2016 , they would use more special effect so as to give this film more realist .For finish i find this movie like all films of slaves , for me there is no originality , if you ever see a « slave movie » you don't will see innovation .
