Review of BlacKkKlansman (2018) by Mattyice — 05 Oct 2018

BlackKKlansman was obviously a film made with great passion from Spike Lee. When the film works it truly works. It's characters, acting, and plot, specifically the climax, are fantastic. The film is no doubt entertaining.

Where the film falls out of amazing territory for me is its corny opening/ending and its hamfisted execution of its core themes. Overall, the film could've been amongst Spike Lee's greatest works yet, but falls a little short and probably could have used some time on the cutting room floor when it comes to its opening and closing.
