This movie was necessary to give people a glimpse into the life of Chairman Fred Hampton as well as the Black Panther Party. I liked hearing that Fred Hampton Jr. was on set every day to see this project actually happen.

I just wanted to write a quick comment on this film. I think it’s really really great. It has stellar performances by the two leads and tells a great story that had to be told, watch it if you can!

I am consistently amazed at the racism inherent in our society, especially from those who are given the power to wield justice over us. It’s little wonder people like Fred Hampton rise up to up to take a stand. We are all human dammit, no matter our skin colour. What is wrong with those people who discriminate? What are they scared of? It’s maddening but thank goodness for films like this one that bring injustices to light.

So the Black Panthers were good people who gave breakfast to children and wanted to build a hospital.

Fabulous performances. There is a larger story here somewhere which would have been great to examine but overall a tense character driven piece with excellent central performances and a moving finale. Sad to see how little has changed in 50 years...

Daniel Kaluuya and Lakeith Stanfield are slowly getting into that realm of actors where I will watch a movie just to see their performance because I know it will be brilliant.

I didn’t know much about Fred Hampton, and was completely unaware of the existence of Bill O’Neal so this was definitely a story that needed to be told. Would love to see a film purely centred around Fred and how, at just 21, he became such a proliferate leader.

Judas And The Black Messiah successfully followed the biopic formula to deliver a passionate depiction of real life fight and betrayal. The highlights are the boldness of its unapologetic socialist approach and Daniel Kaluuya being absolutely brilliant once again (Lakeith Stanfield is great too).

This is the movie Spike Lee has been trying to achieve for years while repeatedly failing.

Great acting, love Stanfield since Atlanta, great script and a feast for the eyes but it's a bit long with some parts that get a little boring.

Out of the predicted nominees this is my winner since I doubt they'll let a foreign movie (Minari) win again.

Thought it was draggy in parts. The last 30-45 minutes were pretty good. Controversial figure that I didnt know a lot about. Glad the movie was made because I learned about him.

The director's admiration for Fred Hampton makes him a flat character, built from his speeches but without depth. More interesting is William O'Neal, turned into a Judas who betrayed for some coins, and whose transformation is accurately represented. Judas ends up being a believer, but despite that he remains a traitor. It is a correct approximation to a troubled time, but also a confirmation that not many things have changed.
