I really enjoyed this movie.

Great satire.

Denzel Washington’s son is pretty damn good as well.

Adam Driver and Topher Grace are great.

I totally understand why this was nominated for best picture at the academy awards. Black Panther I still don’t understand.

I really loved the movie. The story itself is interesting. Spike Lee swings and misses more often than he hits but I always like the way he tells a story. This time he hit. All the characters have depth, from Stallworth to Duke. It really wasn't a movie that took sides. You learned everyone's perspective without the filmmaker telling you how to feel.

bigfan of Laura Harrier from Joe Orr and Jason Goff's ETHS.

I usually hate the marfan looking Adam Driver, but even he was enjoyable in this movie.

This might have been the best movie I have seen this year.

It was a good movie. Good, not great. Something you watch once and enjoy, but forget most of it within a few weeks and will never watch again.

That’s most movies for me nowadays, but I think it might just be CTE.

Caught this yesterday and I ended up enjoying it quite a bit. Characters were strong and well done. Had a strong message that it was trying to convey
especially at the end but did a great job mixing in a lot of humor as well. The premise is almost too unbelievable, but it is in fact based on a true story.
Didn't realize it was Denzel's son in the lead role until right before the movie. Sounds an awful lot like his dad.

This movie sucked, one of the worst movies I've watched start to finish in a long time. For some reason I was expecting it to get better..it never did. I see why it got to hbo so quickly.

well we were all waiting with baited breath to finally see what 312 thought of this.

it should've won best picture. it's easily spike lee's finest and most polished film.
