Mr. Movie's Film Blog

Nadine Whitney

Judas and the Black Messiah is a large film with a fine ensemble of actors, but it’s also a character study that focuses on small moments.

POWERHOUSE STORY of a revolutionary, a change, & a traitor. Stylized to perfection the film carries amazing script/Camerawork. Lakieth is INCREDIBLE, Dominique blew me away, & We should be looking at our Best Supporting Actor Winner with Daniel

Shaka King and Will Berson deliver a film inspired by true events with all the qualities this type of movie needs: enlightening, inspirational, thought-provoking, and tremendously impactful.

Vulnerable Man (Medium)

Akos Peterbencze

King’s political drama is willing to explore uncomfortable depths about how the government villainized black people and tried to prevent them from gaining any kind of power.

The biopic, dramatizing real-life events in the late '60s, is riveting and shocking and sizzles with themes about racial injustice. A big, hefty film that demands your full attention.
