The perspective we need for the civil rights movement.
A deep, moving look at some of the lesser known people of the civil rights movement.
Brilliant film! I'd never realized what a positive impact the Black Panthers had.
Both important and moving to learn this history (it'll make you furious) and just an exciting and well-made movie.
Good story that has a very sad ending, great detail about the time period in history
Powerful and moving message,story and performances. Daniel Kaluuya is truly magnetic and compelling as always. Masterful.
It's a compelling story because it's true. The writing isn't where it needs to be but you should watch it for the individual performances.
There are some amazing performances in this film.
Exceptional performances, especially by the two leads (both supporting actors according to the Academy). An important episode to recount.
Incredible true story that is well written that history buffs will enjoy this biopic,plus Exceptional performances from Kaluuya & Stanfield
