All hail the great Colman Domingo.
All hail the great Colman Domingo for his thrilling tour de force as Bayard Rustin, the unsung hero of the Civil Rights Movement, who made history by organizing the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom while standing in the shadow of Martin Luther King as he uttered those four momentous words, "I have a dream."
Critics say the film is hampered by a low budget, a few shaky casting choices and a script by Julian Breece and Dustin Lance Black that sloganeers when it needs to simply breathe. They're not wrong. But through Domingo's enthralling empathy, "Rustin" doesn't miss a beat.A lifelong advocate for nonviolence, the Quaker-raised, openly gay Rustin -- admitting to communist sympathies -- was arrested for protesting World War II and segregation in the Jim Crow South.
But what about the life he led before his vindication? "Rustin" the movie is out to fill us in. And the passion starts at the top with Domingo, a virtuoso awards contender on TV , stage and film , who wears his role in "Rustin" like a second skin. You can't take your eyes off him.
