‘BlacKkKlansman’ Is A Relevant, Provocative and Entertaining Film About The True Story of A Black Cop Infiltrating The KKK – Review

Spike Lee’s BlacKkKlansman recounts a true story so unbelievable it is as if the events happened for the sole purpose of an eventual cinematic adaptation. Lee is undoubtedly matched perfectly…

“BlacKkKlansman is perhaps is one of Lee’s best films. It is a clear and determined film that addresses a topic that Lee is passionate about and has dedicated much of his career to. The story of a Black cop successfully infiltrating the Ku Klux Klan is an impressive story in its own right, but Lee goes the extra mile to provide us a funny and complex portrait of the 1970s, which is very reflective of today’s society. It will entertain, educate, inspire and remind you to stay awake. Do not turn a blind eye to hatred, fight back.“

TIFF 18: ‘Where Hands Touch’ is an Emotional & Touching Story Through the Eyes of a Biracial German Girl – Review

Where Hands Touch is Amma Asante’s passion project, which she has been developing for years. She stumbled upon this untold story of the Rhineland Bastards (biracial German children) by accident and…

“Where Hands Touch is one of many films that depicts the horrors of the Nazi Regime and the many complicated relationships that came out of it. However, Where Hands Touch stands out because it has a clear perspective and honest intentions: to tell the stories of those rarely seen or heard. Cinema is many things; one of those things is a tool for education. Asante focuses our attention on yet another story of the Black experience and she accomplishes what she sets out to do. Where Hands Touch is an important and beautiful film.“

‘Mute’ Is An Understated Indie Within A Sci-Fi Spectacle. Spoiler-Free Review

Duncan Jones pays homage to Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner, but also reflects a world that is very familiar. Ridley Scott’s vision of 2019 was once seen as a far-fetched almost fantasy-lik…

“There are some interesting twist and turns regarding these characters and how they fit into the mystery, but unfortunately the character we see the least of is the most interesting, Naadirah. Naadirah is the most fascinating character and I wish that Jones had instead focused on her and her journey. There is much about her story that would warrant its own film, but sadly she is the girlfriend in a Blade Runner-esque sci-fi. She is a waitress who is working on bettering her life. She has secrets and dealings with shady people, maybe even the mob.All in all this is a well crafted indie within a sci-fi spectacle. 

The story is small, the world is big. If you are a fan of simply inhabiting these futuristic worlds and you get a kick out of the familiar aspects, Mute is certainly the movie for you.“
