YMMV / Goodbye Uncle Tom

• Awesome Music: As repugnant as the film is, the score by Riz Ortolani is nothing short of gorgeous. This is not the first time the composer took such an approach to this sort of material, nor would it be the last.
• Broken Aesop: As pointed out by Roger Ebert in his review:
  "If it is tragic that the barbarism of slavery existed in this country, is it not also tragic — and enraging — that for a few dollars the producers of this film were able to reproduce and reenact that barbarism? Make no mistake. This movie itself humiliates its actors in the way the slaves were humiliated 200 years ago."
• Narm Charm: "Oh My Love". Sure, it's over-sung and the lyrics are corny, but it's still a pretty moving song.
• One-Scene Wonder: The film contains numerous colorful, distinctive, and over-the-top characters, and, being a work of Mondo, none of them appear in more than one scene.
• Too Bleak, Stopped Caring: The film does not shy away from the horrors of slavery in pre-Civil War America. Moreover, the excruciating detail that the film goes into showing the atrocities, in addition to breaking the supposed Aesop in half, makes it pretty clear that the film's purpose is to exploit rather than inform.
