Funny, dramatic, shocking

Rating: 7/10 (11 March 2019)

I had no expectations for this movie, I just saw the trailer and figured out it was some kind of comedy.
Turns out it's a social drama about racism and particularly about KKK, it's handled in a clever way,
No surprise here because the director is Spike Lee who likes to make movies about this subject, like Malcolm X.
I like the way this movie is both funny and political, and I especially like the way "white power" and "black power" are aligned by editing like the extremisms they are.
It's really interesting and I recommend it.
I didn't like Adam Driver in Star Wars 7 but here he's a big surprise. His character is really strong with improvisation which helps a lot his infiltration in KKK.
Both main characters are well written.
The costumes and haircuts really add an immersive atmosphere for the time period.
Watchout for the end though, don't bring anyone under 16 it's really graphic and it's real footage of violent riots about racism.
