This audacious and ambitious film swings for the fences and misses.

It’s hardly new news, but DuVernay takes a very long time to spell it out.

There is a personal side to Wilkerson’s story that the director and cast skilfully interweave.

RTMovies We Texted AboutJan 6, 2026

It’s not only one of the most important films of the decade but also DuVernay’s greatest film – a testament to her authorial powers as both a filmmaker and activist.
