Watching this in a totally white audience was an experience. The little titters and nudges when 'make america great again' was mentioned, or about police officers shooting unarmed black people, or even one becoming president; to the we won mentality at the final phone call.
Then the deathly silence with the current footage being shown. I think quite a few people realised it's not just references.
These people still exist today.
They still have their rallies.
They still have their marches.
They still murder in uniform.
And they still hold these abhorrent views.

I think I even heard some people sniff away some tears right at the end once they saw the footage and heard the words of people who were there.

Enjoy the film; enjoy the jokes (it is a funny film) but make no doubt the characters shown still exist.

_BlacKkKlansman_ is an undercover film, because beneath its brilliant sheet of light-hearted biopic lurks a dark satire of racism, all lives matter and Trumpism. It will sneak up on you with its dated 70's feel and then grab you with its arresting pertinence to contemporary issues. Watch this film or be doomed to repeat it.

_BlacKkKlansman_ is so good that I forgot it was a Spike Lee film. More seriously, it even outshines 2006's _Inside Man_ and the closing newsreel sequence literally had me sobbing in the cinema (my over-the-top emotional responses are just one of the many reasons I always sit in the front row). Not only one of the best films of the year, this is clearly the most important film of the year.

Power to the people. All the people. All over... everywhere!!!

This is an incredible film. Not only is it a thoroughly entertaining film, it also comes with some hard-hitting messages. With the film taking place in the 1970's, I loved how it was able to tie a lot of things to present day, and make some slight jokes along the way as well.

I believe it's probably Spike Lee's best movie in years. Although the movie may be a bit long for some at 2 hrs 15 min, I was not bored for one moment. I highly recommend it.

I was expecting a lot more comedy, from what I had seen. While there were some good moments, that made me laugh, the film overall was a little slow. I was expecting more cunning and comedy, that both the plot and poster lead on: a black man infiltrating a white supremacist group... Sounds very interesting and hooked me in, however, that's not really what it's about. More like manipulating, not infiltrating.

Adam Driver did an excellent job as always. Nothing spectacular or noteworthy about this film, and I actually liked Imperium better, for an undercover-white-supremacist film. This film felt oddly more political, but perhaps that was the point.

sorry didnt like this at all this was a total letdown on so many levels and i did expect better than this ugh

It simply isn't a good movie.

Yes, the issues still exist today - and if you replace black with muslim: They exist in the entire western hemisphere (Ironically creating more muslim extremists).

Great message, but in my oppinion (Seeing from other reviews I'm pretty alone in this) bad delivery.

I even had to watch it twice, since I fell asleep after an hour the first time.

it was okay. This important story was intriguing but i think it suffers from a lack of delivery for such a serious subject matter. I haven't read much about whether there was a certain style Spike Lee was reaching for but for me it just came across as almost a parody - the costumes felt like they came from the wardrobe of the 70's show...(maybe Topher Grace got a special discount for costume hire) The film lacked some substance...was it a comedy? it was a real mish mash. (Even the score which was wonderful) didn't fit the tempo of the celluloid. I would have dug it if somehow we had the style of American Gangster or The Deuce and the grittiness of Mississippi Burning. The real footage at the end was a ballkicker and is widely available on you tube but maybe it was added because the actual movie lacked the impact the real footage portrayed. What i think i am trying to say is if Blackkklansman did its job properly we wouldn't have needed the news footage at the end....at least my man Prince soothed me in the credits...may he rest in peace.

People bad reviewing this film are just white racist 'muricans...

Weak... I was expecting some comedy and action... Instead I got baited into a liberal shit trying to make a terrorist organization look bether than the KKK... both were shit, we all know that... come on... please, I just want to enjoy good movies again...

The plot is very interesting and it's hard to believe this is based off a true story. It can be funny at times while not taking away from the story or the serious issues it handles. The last few minutes of this movie are powerful. This is long but is paced well and flows. The cinematography and editing were great. There were some really cool shots. John David Washington and Adam Driver are both fantastic. And shoutout to Topher Grace who does a good job playing a terrible person. I haven't seen many Spike Lee "joints" but this makes me want to see more of his movies.

Was a good movie.
Big shame the f’ed it up with disgusting racist insinuations against Trump.
An edited ‘clip’ at the end to make it look like he supported despicable people. But not showing the whole video, that would show that they are lying.
They didn’t mention that the whole KKK misery was from Democrats.
Why not?
It was the Democrats who instigated all the racism, and still do today.

Week, slow, not even close to being as funny as they try to make it seem in the trailers. Seems like there’s a miss leading political agenda at work here. I hung in there for 35 minutes and could not take anymore of the snooze fest
