Ignore the bots who wrote the really negative reviews

Rating: 8/10 (17 November 2018)

This is a fine film, filled with wry humor as well as serious, relevant content. Spike Lee has never been one to shy away from issues. I'm appalled by the reviews that call the movie 'heavy handed.' What's more heavy handed than white supremecists marching through our streets? Lee weaves together the threads of Stallworth's insightful memoir, while heightening the drama with fictional elements. It all comes together to illustrate how far we've fallen since 2016, when Trump gave his own imprimatur to the alt right to step out of the darkness. We have a long way to go.
