Disappointing film from Lee

Rating: 3/10 (15 June 2020)

I've been a huge Spike Lee fan for years so I was really looking forward to this film. The trailers certainly intrigued me and the premise seemed very interesting. Sadly this film does not deliver the goods Lee is known for. It seems like a jumble of important issues and ideas thrown together. The dialogue is poor and cheesy, the music completely threw me off, and I just couldn't feel compassion for the characters. The cinematography is amazing and there are some very poignant issues that Lee touches on but unfortunately it's not enough to really give the film the boost it needs. A film that had great potential but sadly doesn't pull through.
