Review of Judas and the Black Messiah (2021) by Kemp — 12 Mar 2021
The best thing I can say about this film is that it is extremely bold and makes you want to do a lot of reading afterward to find out more. It is also extremely well-made, with great performances all around -- particularly from Daniel Kaluuya.
I always felt the film was teetering on the edge of being truly great, but in the end I felt it did not quite get there. It is hard to put my finger on why, but I think it is because the film has so much to say that it doesn't know what to prioritize and ends up feeling a little unfocused.
Regardless, it is a good film, and worth your time.
