Review of Da 5 Bloods (2020) by Hueyfreeman — 14 Jun 2020
Da 5 Bloods is remarkable. From it’s brilliant opening montage that shows black America has been warning full blown fascism was coming for decades to its explosive and haunting ending it’s nothing short of a beautifully shot, densely plotted, ingeniously conceived cinematic tour de force of the highest caliber.
Spike Lee has quite a few made masterpieces. DO THE RIGHT THING, MALCOLM X, 25th HOUR, 4 LITTLE GIRLS, WHEN THE LEVEES BROKE, HE GOT GAME, SUMMER OF SAM. Add Da 5 Bloods to that echelon near the very top.
Prepare to be blown away and get chills at how eerily this film echoes the moment in history we are witnessing at this very moment. And Delroy Lindo’s tragic performance will break you.
