Despite the lukewarm reviews, the film is resonating with audiences who appreciate Perry's unique storytelling style and diverse cast.
Insiders say the movie's focus on the real-life story of the 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, the only all-Black, all-female unit to serve in WWII, is a refreshing departure from the director's typical fare.
