Disappointing effort from Spike Lee

Rating: 3/10 (13 June 2020)

I am shocked and disappointed a filmmaker as talented as Spike Lee can make such an amateurish film. He tries so hard to tell a story about the oppression black Americans have endured. How much we have been through since the 16th Century in America. The wars we have fought in both abroad and here in our (forcibly) adopted country.
The script is terrible. The story Lee is trying to tell is one that needs to be told, but I was extremely disappointed how Lee told it. He mixes in history, attempts at drama and comedy, and a really nice soundtrack and the result is a very disappointing film. Lee preaches too much. He hits us over the head with the tribulations blacks have endured. I'm sure many people will probably like this movie but I am not one of them.
