Sinners (2025) 97% “A love letter to Southern Black people and our generational tradition of searching for and finding freedom through the arts...but who Coogler chooses to let live to tell the story and who he chooses to die feels too much like a metaphor to ignore.” – Black Girl Watching Apr 20, 2025 Full Review Your Monster (2024) 77% “When I say this movie has everything, I mean everything: Rom-com-horror-fantasy-MUSICAL. And it’s brilliant at every genre.” – Black Girl Watching Apr 18, 2025 Full Review Wicked (2024) 87% “[Elphaba] is perhaps the most radical...character on film in 2024.” – Black Girl Watching Jan 1, 2025 Full Review The Last Showgirl (2024) 83% “Confronted with the reality that she might not have anything to show for her career, and due to ageism, has no way to pivot into a new one, Anderson’s showgirl defiantly rejects the idea that she has to defend her choice, even when it hurts people.” – Black Girl Watching Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Nickel Boys (2024) 91% “This Metta filmmaking is an incredible and effective achievement that has more than earned its effusive praise—and while I’ll only ever watch it once, I’ll be thinking about it for a long time.” – Black Girl Watching Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Moana 2 (2024) 61% “I love when kids’ movies subtly address colonization and teach children that ancestors never leave us and want to help us. And the music slaps!” – Black Girl Watching Dec 19, 2024 Full Review Mufasa: The Lion King (2024) 56% “The visual effects are incredible; there were so many luminous shots and camera angles. Ultimately, and unfortunately, Jenkins was hamstrung by the literal title and premise of the story. ” – Black Girl Watching Dec 19, 2024 Full Review The Book of Clarence (2023) 66% “The Book of Clarence, incorporates ideas from some of the most iconic cinematic biblical sagas but fails to execute them into a cohesive, effective Black Jesus sociopolitical comedy.” – Andscape Jan 12, 2024 Full Review The Color Purple (2023) 81% “Bazawule’s The Color Purple is another misadaptation of Walker’s work — the unfollowed blueprint that’s still, embarrassingly, ahead of its time, 40 years later.” – Andscape Dec 19, 2023 Full Review The Marvels (2023) 62% “With a great cast, a great premise and some fun and funny moments, the final story is, unfortunately, an anti-climactic version of stories we’ve seen before in the MCU, and “representation” alone can’t save it.” – The Grio Nov 10, 2023 Full Review Dicks: The Musical (2023) 68% “There’s something extra sweet about seeing Megan (Thee Stallion) as Gloria reclaim her top spot in bars and put the men who are disrespecting her back in their place — all while having the time of her life in an absolutely bonkers movie.” – The Grio Sep 26, 2023 Full Review Stamped From the Beginning (2023) 100% “While the stories and histories of Black people in America might not be new information, its presentation in “Stamped” is absolutely new, commendable and should be required viewing. ” – The Grio Sep 26, 2023 Full Review Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero (2023) 74% “Dismissed as a gimmick, a one-hit wonder, a stunt queen, Lil Nas X has proven the slander wrong. “Long Live Montero” ensures that there’s a record and proves that there are multiple reasons why he’s here to stay. ” – The Grio Sep 26, 2023 Full Review Black Is King (2020) 94% “With the stunning Black Is King, Beyoncé has made another blueprint, a Lemonade for Black men.” – Esquire Magazine Jul 21, 2023 Full Review They Cloned Tyrone (2023) 95% ““They Cloned Tyrone” is as much a hood manifesto as it is an enthralling dark comedy. ” – The Grio Jul 21, 2023 Full Review Black Panther: Wakanda Forever (2022) 84% “We deserve a story about Africanness and Diasporic Blackness that’s not hampered by the white gaze that would refuse us peace, justice, unity and vengeance. In the MCU, no matter who’s at the helm, that’s just not possible.” – xoNecole Jul 20, 2023 Full Review Nope (2022) 83% “Damn the white-washed history, and the capitalist traps of Hollywood’s fortune and fame. The beast has no more power here. ” – xoNecole Jul 20, 2023 Full Review You People (2023) 39% “In Barris’ hands, it’s just…nothing — for two tedious, aggressively unfunny hours. ” – The Grio Jul 20, 2023 Full Review Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania (2023) 46% “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania is a good time.” – The Grio Jul 20, 2023 Full Review Creed III (2023) 89% “"With his eye toward healing, Jordan’s directorial debut is a fantastic technical and emotional achievement in the “Creed” canon and a triumph of the restorative power of Black male softness."” – The Grio Jul 20, 2023 Full Review Chevalier (2022) 76% “"Starring Kelvin Harrison Jr. at his career best in the title role, “Chevalier” tells the hidden true history of late-18th century Black creole child savant, master violinist, champion fencer and composer Joseph Bologne."” – The Grio Jul 20, 2023 Full Review The Little Mermaid (2023) 67% “"Whether Disney will use its profits to pay its writers fairly and invest in original Black stories is yet to be seen. But a win is a win, and we deserve it."” – The Grio Jul 20, 2023 Full Review The Blackening (2022) 87% “From classic jump scares and misdirects to a horrifying car scene and running for your life through the woods, “The Blackening” combines all of the best tropes of the genre to make an instant Juneteenth classic.” – The Grio Jul 20, 2023 Full Review Just Mercy (2019) 85% “That message is revolutionary and makes Just Mercy more than "just" a movie; it's a movement, a way of being, a radical call to action. It's on all of us to answer the call.” – Shadow and Act Jan 13, 2020 Full Review Queen & Slim (2019) 82% “Without the medicine, Queen & Slim is just digging around in the wound.” – Shadow and Act Nov 27, 2019 Full Review
