Watching this in a totally white audience was an experience. The little titters and nudges when 'make america great again' was mentioned, or about police officers shooting unarmed black people, or even one becoming president; to the we won mentality at the final phone call. Then the deathly silence with the current footage being shown. I think quite a few people realised it's not just references. These people still exist today. They still have their rallies. They still have their marches. They still murder in uniform. And they still hold these abhorrent views. I think I even heard some people sniff away some tears right at the end once they saw the footage and heard the words of people who were there. Enjoy the film; enjoy the jokes (it is a funny film) but make no doubt the characters shown still exist.

_BlacKkKlansman_ is an undercover film, because beneath its brilliant sheet of light-hearted biopic lurks a dark satire of racism, all lives matter and Trumpism. It will sneak up on you with its dated 70's feel and then grab you with its arresting pertinence to contemporary issues. Watch this film or be doomed to repeat it. _BlacKkKlansman_ is so good that I forgot it was a Spike Lee film. More seriously, it even outshines 2006's _Inside Man_ and the closing newsreel sequence literally had me sobbing in the cinema (my over-the-top emotional responses are just one of the many reasons I always sit in the front row). Not only one of the best films of the year, this is clearly the most important film of the year.

This is an incredible film. Not only is it a thoroughly entertaining film, it also comes with some hard-hitting messages. With the film taking place in the 1970's, I loved how it was able to tie a lot of things to present day, and make some slight jokes along the way as well. I believe it's probably Spike Lee's best movie in years. Although the movie may be a bit long for some at 2 hrs 15 min, I was not bored for one moment. I highly recommend it.

I was expecting a lot more comedy, from what I had seen. While there were some good moments, that made me laugh, the film overall was a little slow. I was expecting more cunning and comedy, that both the plot and poster lead on: a black man infiltrating a white supremacist group... Sounds very interesting and hooked me in, however, that's not really what it's about. More like manipulating, not infiltrating. Adam Driver did an excellent job as always. Nothing spectacular or noteworthy about this film, and I actually liked Imperium better, for an undercover-white-supremacist film. This film felt oddly more political, but perhaps that was the point.

People bad reviewing this film are just white racist 'muricans...
