It’s an engaging, angry picture of prejudice and suspense presented with style, substance, and a suitably super soundtrack by the exciting creative mind of Melina Matsoukas. Read more

This is an unapologetic and purposeful first feature, as much a complex story of joy and love as incendiary protest parable. Read more
