Blackface

I wasn't sure I was going to make it through this whole movie, with Davies donning blackface and doing the most stereotypical "black maid" caricature. Thankfully she leaves that disguise behind halfway through, and then just does an annoying fake Southern accent for the rest of the movie. This is far from her best role.

Glad to hear you survived. It must have been traumatic for you to have felt so unsafe.

Wow, snarky. I didn't say I felt unsafe. But I wasn't enjoying the movie, so I thought about not finishing it. It's not a good film, In My Opinion. Thought that's what we were here to discuss on this board.
