Atom User Reviews for Judas and the Black Messiah
A beautiful black brother movie
A must see film for what were going through today
this is a must watch movie! I will definitely be watching it again.
Daniel kaluuya is that dude !
This is a competently made movie but it really does feel like a propaganda film that is made to support modern BLM/POC organizations.
Wish the film dealt more with the men involved and their vision but good story and one that needs to be seen.

Great movie
This movie was powerful!
Incredible performances by the actors and a sad testament of how far we've come when it comes to race relations in this country.
I beautiful movie! Perfect for what we’re going through today. The fact it’s based on a true story, makes it more sad and eye opening
Big recommendations for my fellow black brothers
Metacritic
It’s a credit to Stanfield that he manages to keep these complex contradictions alive throughout his performance, capturing perfectly the uneasy manner that O’Neal exhibited on camera, his eyes darting anxiously as he attempts to read his surroundings, his manner a mix of fearful, furtive and oddly forceful.
Judas and the Black Messiah quietly announces its modern relevance by presenting as sophisticated a depiction of systemic racism as you could hope to see in a movie.
Judas and the Black Messiah represents a disciplined, impassioned effort to bring clarity to a volatile moment, to dispense with the sentimentality and revisionism that too often cloud movies about the ’60s and about the politics of race. It’s fascinating in its own right, and even more so when looked at alongside other recent movies.
