Review of Within Our Gates (1920) by David L — 25 Dec 2018

Within Our Gates is interestingly directed by Oscar Micheaux due to quick editing, the use of a lot of intertitles and a very urgent tone to it. The film is flawed owing to weaker acting and too many characters, but it's still very well plotted with a particularly interesting twist ending and of course it's a very important movie for being the oldest surviving film about black people and directed by a black director.
