Review of Candyman (2021) by Bertobellamy — 29 Aug 2021

There's some good photography in here, and the social premise is not that bad — you know what you're getting into when you walk into something involving Jordan Peele —. The problem is that there are too many ideas, and I really don't get what Nia DaCosta and Peele were trying to do with the character.

It also doesn't help that the themes are in-your-face all the time. Some subtlety could've helped a little. And, of course, the last act is the worst part of the film; I liked the gory scenes, but the ending is very underwhelming and confusing.
