In this light, we find many of the aforementioned “woker-than-thou” film reviews to be wholly unfair and frankly, quite unfounded – not to mention demoralizing. Two reviews we encountered are particularly egregious in their nearly wholesale denouncement of The Free State of Jones. The first is Eileen Jones’ review in Jacobin and the other is Vann R. Newkirk’s in The Atlantic. Jones’ piece comes off as a brag about how much more she knows about the Civil War than everyone else, save for Eric Foner, with accusations of epic mansplaining for good measure. Meanwhile, Newkirk’s is practically the poster child for the most unproductive and divisive aspects of ultra-left identity politics.
