Review of BlacKkKlansman (2018) by Ginak — 12 Aug 2018

A film that was much more political than I expected, judging by the Coming Attractions I had seen, which led me to believe that the film would be lighter than it was – and funny. But this film is deadly serious and a commentary on the state of civil rights and the state of the country today, which is depressing.

This was not so much because of the film itself, which was well-made and well-acted, but because of the end of the film, which, in effect, argued that nothing has really changed. Spike Lee is a great filmmaker, and I was surprised that he could not make the film more insightful.

The actors were excellent.
