Rustin Ratings & Reviews
- Kevin WardJuly 2, 2025Domingo is fantastic and is the highlight of the film. His performance along with the score does most of the heavy lifting, though, in an otherwise humdrum biopic. It’s nice to see the profile of an important civil rights figure elevated. I thought Chris Rock was really good, too, in one of his better performances. Worth checking out if you’re an Oscar completionist, but I was hoping for a bit more.
