Review of BlacKkKlansman (2018) by Healingtoolbox — 16 Oct 2018

The COURAGE it took to make and act in this film is wonderful to me. The film-making is more than adequate. Improving on it would be difficult except for shortening it. It's too emotionally resonant with black and underclass issues--however honestly and accurately--to be sufficiently entertaining.

I celebrate the historical re-creation of a Stokely Charmichael speech of the day as perfect in all details including the after-remarks about the "revolution" being as much bluster as reality.

If I had directed, I would have tried to increase the thriller genre aspect 10%. As is, it's pretensions to a thriller are obvious and under-cooked in the script and pacing.
