Review of Candyman (2021) by Ashenwon — 18 Jun 2022
The cinematography and musical score are exceptional. The opening credits sets a tone that feels like this could be a redeeming re-imagination of the classic… Unfortunately, that is where the spectacle ends.
The topics this film centre around, and have been doubled-down upon, are handled without any tact whatsoever. It’s tunnel-vision small mindedness race baiting, seemingly without a motive other than resentment and division.
It’s a film that focuses on the injustices of racism, but ironically is racist itself, which I cannot condone.
