Review of Chi-Raq (2015) by Brian Gibson for Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Alberta) — 01 Jun 2016
This overlong concept-film/disquisition mostly misfires. Its heart-on-sleeve power gets muddled by its confusion of brash with blatant and politics with polemics. There's much pronouncement and protestation; docu-realism's mixed up with too-broad farce.
