The beauty of what Jenkins has done to honor Whitehead's stunning literary work is a true feat in and of itself.

Long, hard ride with some strikingly beautiful craftsmanship to make it all feel worthwhile - at least some of the time.

Jenkins is among the few directors and producers who could do it justice, and his 10-episode series is a dark, gorgeous, slightly flawed but ultimately spectacular adaptation.

This series is simply stunning, in ways that are anything but simple.

There's been a lot of chat about the Golden Age of TV. Much of it doesn't live up to the hype, but now we have The Underground Railroad, a series where the hype will instead struggle to live up to the show.

Barry Jenkins crafts yet another powerful piece of art. Even in its more brutal moments, the filmmaker walks you through with delicate care.
May 13, 2021
Jenkins gets it all. It's as if he has figured out how to funnel more feeling through a camera lens than anyone else.

It seems conjured out of the indulgence of a privileged generation that has to imagine suffering -- a flippant take on Nina Simone's "I Wish I Knew How It Would Feel to Be Free."

Trauma becomes tangible in Barry Jenkins's adaptation of Colson Whitehead's novel.
