Review of BlacKkKlansman (2018) by The3Academysins — 07 Sep 2018

BlackkKlansman is one of Spike Lee's best movies in years, and I would say up there with Eighth Grade as one of the best movies of the summer of 2018. John David Washington and Adam Driver carry this movie, and they give some truly great performances, perhaps (dare I say it?) career defining! This movie is immaculately and creatively shot.

The script is all at once funny, tense, romantic, sobering, and it ends on a great call to action. The one flaw is that I don't think the villains were very well developed, but the payoff at the end is so satisfying.

I think maybe this film will even get some nods during the awards season! If I were to guess, I would say Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, and Best Sound Editing.
