I personally related to the film as someone who, for most of my academic life, was one of only a few students of color. That puts pressure on a person. Scrutiny in that space is common, but there’s a special kind of scrutiny that comes when you’re one of a kind — a lot of pressure, from all sides. I very much related to Luce and thought that Kelvin’s performance was extraordinary. He was playing a character who himself was playing a character, and his portrayal was incredibly layered and sympathetic. All the acting in the movie was great: Octavia Spencer has never put a foot wrong as an actress, and Tim Roth and Naomi Watts were wonderful as Luce’s adoptive parents.
