Always wanted to see this. Glad I sat and took the time to. Much I didn't know about this figure head, as with many others.
Fascinating journey into the complex life of Malcolm X. Denzel Washington's performance is stunning.
Long, but packs in a ton of information and is briskly paced. Extremely entertaining and important
This is one of his best films truly. It’s an epic & it’s important to watch this film. One of my top three spike lee films
Didn’t know much about Malcolm’s life until watching this. Denzel Washington delivers an incredible performance.
Top biopic well scripted and performed. Some of Spike Lee's stylistic elements pay off while others are questionable.
A marathon viewing experience that earns every minute. The slow shifts in tone help humanize an almost mythical figure. Perfect soundtrack.
Denzel Washington really makes this movie
A sympathetic, but not glorified depiction of the controversial activist. One of the better Spike Lee films.
Denzel absolutely becomes Malcolm in this film, and this is one of the rare biopics I loved. Educational and revolutionary like the man
