Review of I Am Not Your Negro (2017) by David G — 05 Feb 2017
Director Raoul Peck had the good sense to let Baldwin's own words do most of the talking. Combining an unfinished manuscript about Baldwin's friends King, X, and Evens (read by Samuel L Jackson with admirable and increasingly rare restraint) with footage from other interviews, Baldwin's critique of US society and race is so clear, so intelligence, and so relevant that it's almost unbearable to watch.
As the credits started, my wife said "I'd see this again right now.".
