The message and the images are more important than this jumble of ideas that feels like an essay of unfinished sentences.

I’ve honestly never been exposed to James Baldwin’s work, and after seeing this I could watch him all day. Fantastic movie, with a brilliant narration job by Sam Jackson. It was a little dreamy, a little unfocused at times but it didn’t need to be more so. The discursive structure worked when tackling a subject this large, and the connections Peck added to current events packed the wallop that was intended. Highly recommended.

I'm really glad I've been hearing more about james baldwin lately. He was certainly missing from my education on the civil rights movement. I thought they did an excellent job combining his words and stories with interviews, plays, and recent events.

Very powerful film with some amazing messages in retrospect but the execution isn't quite right. Unfortunately, it suffers due to a lot of jumping around between different events, times and ideas. Apart from that, a very powerful and eye-opening film to behold.

Well, this is a sombering movie. The book was supposed to be about "personal account of the lives and assassinations of three of his close friends: Medgar Evers, Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr.". As you'd expect from only 30 completed pages, this film isn't really that. It talk More
