Nothing short of incredible

Rating: 9/10 (17 May 2019)

I was apprehensive upon approaching this film - would it have the gall to face up to the harsh truths of racism, which exists now as it did in the 1970's? In a way I was pleasantly surprised. BlackKkKlansman never falls short in showing a transparent depiction of what racism was, what it meant to be black in such a time, and what the Klu Klux Klan really was. This movie was compelling, shocking and truthful in a raw and heart-wrenching way. The final scenes, in which real footage is shown, are absolutely hear-wrenching, and they brought a tear to my eye. They make the whole film real. The only complaint I can fathom is the over-dramatisation of the true story, but this is completely understandible in order to create such a rich production.
