Silver Dollar Road (2023) 82% “Haitian filmmaker Raoul Peck has a knack for making unconventional documentaries that pull no punches.” – Andscape Sep 14, 2023 Full Review Nanny (2022) 90% “Director Nikyatu Jusu’s haunting tale of immigrant sacrifice engulfs and beguiles.” – Andscape Mar 16, 2023 Full Review Emancipation (2022) 45% “The hollow Emancipation is a mismatch between director and subject.” – Andscape Mar 16, 2023 Full Review The Woman King (2022) 94% “With its epic tale of the solidarity that grows between the Dahomey as they battle against enslavement and exploitation, The Woman King illustrates, with stunning grace, how sisterhood can be more than dangerous and powerful.” – Andscape Sep 13, 2022 Full Review Nope (2022) 83% “With the release of his third feature, Nope, Jordan Peele has solidified his reputation for making ambitious, interesting thrillers that mystify enormous audiences. ” – Andscape Aug 5, 2022 Full Review King Richard (2021) 90% “King Richard has a Will Smith problem. It is obviously meant to be award catnip for Smith and a cinematic crowning for Richard Williams, father of Venus and Serena. And yet Smith's starring role may be the weakest part of the film.” – Andscape Nov 24, 2021 Full Review Passing (2021) 91% “Ruth Negga shines in Rebecca Hall's adaptation of the Nella Larsen novel.” – Andscape Nov 12, 2021 Full Review Tina (2021) 92% “What stands out about Tina is that it takes her seriously as an artist, which remains an uphill battle for women in rock music.” – Andscape Mar 29, 2021 Full Review The United States vs. Billie Holiday (2021) 55% “The biggest flaw of The United States vs. Billie Holiday, besides its commitment to substituting shocking violence for character development, is that it cannot decide how its leading lady sees herself.” – Andscape Mar 9, 2021 Full Review MLK/FBI (2020) 98% “While MLK/FBI is expansive and humane, it leaves room for a deeper and more concentrated look at Coretta Scott King as an individual who faced her own enormous challenges as a public figure.” – Andscape Mar 9, 2021 Full Review Malcolm & Marie (2021) 57% “Malcolm & Marie doesn't accomplish much besides telling on its progenitor.” – Andscape Mar 9, 2021 Full Review Judas and the Black Messiah (2021) 96% “King has pulled off the near-impossible, taking a story of an anticapitalist civil rights martyr who we know will have a tragic, bloody end, and approaching it with daring and confidence.” – Andscape Mar 9, 2021 Full Review Antebellum (2020) 31% “Antebellum sprinkles its under-considered plot with elements that recur but are never explained... Meanwhile, the more difficult questions behind Antebellum's world-building choices go unaddressed.” – Andscape Jan 20, 2021 Full Review Time (2020) 98% “[Director Garrett] Bradley's mastering of craft is evident in all the ways she strays from convention.” – Andscape Jan 20, 2021 Full Review The Forty-Year-Old Version (2020) 99% “The Forty-Year-Old Version offers a refreshing, unpretentious and often hilarious take on middle-aged Black womanhood.” – Andscape Jan 20, 2021 Full Review Ma Rainey's Black Bottom (2020) 97% “Each of the actors rises to the occasion in this production, riding a wave of heat crafted by screenwriter and Wilson whisperer Ruben Santiago-Hudson.” – Andscape Jan 20, 2021 Full Review The Old Guard (2020) 80% “Given a team of highly regarded actors in Charlize Theron, Chiwetel Ejiofor and KiKi Layne, Prince-Bythewood delivers both satisfying, high-octane fights and a proper storyline to stitch them together.” – Andscape Jan 20, 2021 Full Review Miss Juneteenth (2020) 99% “Through her round-the-way-girl protagonist, Peoples reminds Turquoise and all of us that there's more than one way to get free.” – Andscape Jun 22, 2020 Full Review Da 5 Bloods (2020) 92% “Da 5 Bloods [is] Spike Lee's sprawling, ambitious, vital and fiery entry into the Vietnam War film canon.” – Andscape Jun 12, 2020 Full Review The High Note (2020) 71% “Ross is an actress who consistently punches above the weight class of the material she's given. And yet in the biggest moment of her film career to date, it's obvious that she deserves more, too.” – Andscape Jun 1, 2020 Full Review Becoming (2020) 93% “Becoming more or less offers Obama fanservice... But it's most interesting in the rare moments when Obama speaks candidly about topics that had been verboten, or at least strongly discouraged.” – Andscape May 7, 2020 Full Review The Photograph (2020) 74% “A dithering, unshakable ambivalence dooms The Photograph, which might be the most distilled example of the deficiencies in Meghie's work as a writer/director.” – Andscape Feb 14, 2020 Full Review Like a Boss (2020) 22% “But no amount of concealer can hide the plot holes or general laziness that tanks Like a Boss, and it is exactly those inadequacies that have consigned it to Dump Month.” – Andscape Jan 10, 2020 Full Review Uncut Gems (2019) 91% “The magic trick of the Safdies is that even when they plunge you into the dyspeptic, spleeny, cyclical hell of Howard's own making, they manage to make you root for him anyway.” – Andscape Dec 13, 2019 Full Review Hala (2019) 86% “The film shines with a glorious commitment to the emotional evolution of its female characters, which James Sizemore's score accents with notes of subtle agony.” – NPR Dec 11, 2019 Full Review
