Woman Walks Ahead is now playing exclusively on DIRECTV and opens in theaters June 29. Biopics need to be balanced to be considered good. Dramatized moments shouldn’t completely overshadow factual events and vice versa. Ideally, a writer/director will want to present as much truth as possible without sedating the audience. This means liberties will be taken to liven up the narrative. While this is an acceptable practice, writers should be careful when choosing which parts of history to change.
