Malcolm X

"I defer to Amari Baraka on this movie; just read the autobiography and maybe his diary. Yea this movie doesn’t include his time in Africa talking to everyone from heads of state to common folk on Africa’s/the Global South’s new position in a post WWII world where the empires of old are collapsing. That in my opinion is what separates the real Malcolm from this movie’s rendition of Malcolm. Still a serviceable movie but it’s omission of that formative moment is a sin. "

"Denzel did an amazing job with this film, so good!"

"Denzel was robbed of the Oscar for this"

"Absolutely powerful film about a very fascinating man with a powerhouse performance by Denzel. A must see."

"I'm a product of the conservative 60s believing the hype. I was invited to see this movie by a friend, more knowledgeable than me. It opened my eyes and started me on a path of research. "

"As far as biopic go, this is a great one. I was well overdue to watch it, and I'm glad I did. I'm not American, but if I were, I would consider it an essential viewing. Do not pass on this. "

"Well, okay... you don't like Spike Lee. But that's beside the point of the importance of this movie, isn't? Surely you can see that, right,?"

"One of my favorite movies of all time. I don't remember the first time I watched it but it definitely sparked an interest in Malcom X in general."

"Exceptional acting and story. "

"I mean it’s Denzel. It’s a very good intro to Malcom X before you a deep dive into who this man was and what he means and should mean to Americans. "
