Enlightening, Inspiring, and Funny

Rating: 8/10 (11 August 2018)

Spike Lee redeemed himself from the woes of "Chi-raq". This film, like all his previous work, was hard pressed and hard nosed. The performances from the entire cast were engaging and stirring. Not everyone gave a powerful speech, but the script didn't neglect to give each character something to say that no doubt made you think and internalize the very meaning of their menial conversation. Also, if you're a classic 70s film buff there's a good amount of references made that will make for a good "Watch List" if you haven't seen them. All in all if you love spike lee or even if you love just one actor in this movie and that's the only reason you want to see it. See it.
