Judas and the Black Messiah2021

i was honestly blown away by the performances. every actor feels completely locked into their role, nothing comes off as stiff or out of place. the direction is tight, and the script deserves way more credit than it gets. it’s dark, intense, and deeply unsettling, especially knowing how rooted it is in real events. it genuinely made me angry and left this heavy pit in my stomach. while i do have mixed feelings about calling it a straight-up biopic, as a dramatized retelling it works incredibly well. and the archival footage at the end is an absolutely essential viewing. it really drives everything home!
