It's too much westernised, and it doesn't really tell Nelson Mandela's story. Someone else (an African) would have acted, Idris Elba doesn't look like Mandela, and his accent is totally fake.

Always that Idris Elba was a brilliant actor, but has really excelled himself as Madiba. Naomi Harris portrays Winnie beautifully as well.

This film doesn't do well. It's been adapted too much.
