Awesome, Impactful, Beautiful

Rating: 10/10 (15 April 2018)

I saw this movie opening weekend and my hopes were not as high as the hype. Honestly, it exceeded my expectations. The visuals were gorgeous and well thought out, as most Marvel movies are. The story line dealt with some very real spoken and unspoken issues across the Black Diaspora and their connections to colonization but it didn't handle those issues in a preachy way. The historical implications of this movie are clear and the determination to celebrate the beauty of Black skin and natural hair in the visuals was uplifting. I'd go see it again. I left the theater with my heart full and a bit changed.
