The Underground Railroad exists as a sort of walking contradiction. It’s designed to be brutal and beautiful, outlandish and deadly serious. Whether it succeeds as a constructive or appropriate depiction of slavery shouldn’t be up to this writer to say.
However, for what it’s worth, Jenkins’ adaptation certainly holds artistic merit. The director has always been interested in dignifying the oppressed – from his portrait of a gay Black man in Moonlight, to his vision of Black love under a broken justice system in If Beale Street Could Talk.
