  IMHO... Best Spike Lee since 25th Hour.

  DP Chayse Irvin kicks ass with gorgeous 35mm lensing. Beautiful framing and coverage.

  Barry Alexander Brown, who has been editing most of Lee's films since School Daze, delivers once again. The pacing and bold cutting decisions are part of Lee's signature... building to an incredibly moving epilogue that had the audience sitting in deafening silence.

  See it on the big screen.

  Review by karsten ★★★★ 7

  There have been several great films this summer that have addressed race issues in America and police brutality and they’ve all done so in incredibly unique and memorable ways. This one seemed to hit the most. Not a film that necessarily feels like it should be critiqued, just one that needs to be seen. Does it have it’s flaws? Of course, but they feel so small and unnecessary to address when putting this film in the context of the world we’re living in and have been living in for so long. Left the theatre pissed off.

  I thought it was very good, tragic, weird and funny. Won’t lodge any criticisms, because last night when I did that, standing in the lobby saying dumb shit like I “didn’t like how the score was mixed”, Spike Lee walked by.

  Review by davidehrlich ★★★★ 6

  It’s surprisingly easy to forget that “BlacKkKlansman” is a Spike Lee joint. Not only does it open with an extended sequence from “Gone with the Wind” (not a Spike Lee joint), but it also spends a good amount of time parsing the fundamental dilemma of Jewish-American identity, and takes place in the snow-white hills of Colorado Springs… which is pretty much the furthest place from Crooklyn you can get in this country.

  Sure, the usual Lee flourishes pop up here and there — from the introductory text promising this buddy cop biopic is “some fo’ real shit,” to the gorgeous conveyer-belt shot at the climax, and the sobering mic drop of news footage that brings things to a close —…

  Usually, ending your movie with a news footage montage comes off as too preachy to me.....but the connection Spike makes between one of the characters and these certain clips is DUMBFOUNDING. Incredible and terrible at the same time. 

  I then researched the actual story of Ron and not only was this dude the real deal but that “pic scene” really did happen. Wild. 

  COMBO PRICE

  my logic: these are just actors playing racists, you need to calm down
  my emotions: what you need to do is find topher grace and slap him in the teeth
