It is ambitious, attempting to peel back just what Making America Great Again would involve, but stops short of having any insight into racism, nostalgia or indeed its own main character.

It proves how hard it is to make a remarkable film like Get Out or Us...this works on paper but doesn't earn its keep on screen.

The visual style (lots of slow-mo) is sometimes overdone. But the ideas are alive, Monáe is a star and the drama is quietly unsettling.

'Antebellum' fails to nail the twist it presents at the beginning of the film and fails to be a good horror movie.
