I enjoyed most of it but, it was a little too long. I watched the Spike Lee interview on Apple TV+ afterwards which helped put the length in perspective.

Rating: 9/10 (14 June 2020)

Since it is a Spike Lee film I always expect and enjoy some of the quirkiness that he puts in a movie. I was enjoining the movie for about the first 1.75 hours of it. After that I just wanted it to get to the ending. I did enjoy the finale at the end but just wish the movie arrived at the finale sooner. But, all of the great directors seem to not shy away from the length of the film. They all seem determined to tell their story and not be limited by the length of the film. I watched the Spike Lee interview on Apple TV+ afterwards which helped put the length in perspective. Spike Lee reminded me that he wants to tell his story. I respect that. Not just in Spike Lee but in all of the great Directors. It seemed to me that after he made the movie he decided to splice in some history lessons then tie the movie to current events but, Spike Lee would have to explain if that was indeed the case. I am sure that eventually someone will ask Spike Lee that question.
