JUDAS AND THE BLACK MESSIAH – Review by Martha K Baker

There is nothing pretty about Judas and the Black Messiah. It is, of necessity, a very dark movie, dark in its setting and lighting, and dark in the horrible history of J. Edgar Hoover against Blacks in general and, here, Fred Hampton in particular. Hoover called first for Hampton’s jailing and then for his killing. At 21.

PRINCESS OF THE ROW – Review by Carol Cling

November 23, 2020November 24, 2020 Carol Cling 0 Comments Martin Sheen, princess of the row, Tayler Buck, Van Maximilian Carlson

Life is hardly a fairy tale for even the most fortunate among us. Alisha is far from the most fortunate among us. Memorably embodied by young Tayler Buck, Alisha — who prefers to be called “Princess” — is the 12-year-old at the heart of Princess of the Row, a heart-tugging drama that sometimes tugs too hard.

Anna Chi's The Disappearance of Mrs. Wu is a lighthearted look at intergenerational dynamics, but takes time to tackle significant issues like immigration policies and racial and sexual identity prejudices too.

THE MAGICIAN’S ELEPHANT on @netflix casts a beautiful and emotional spell, proving some things are impossible only until you believe they're not. I enjoyed the marvelous animation, script, and talented voice cast. More in my @AWFJ review. https://awfj.org/blog/2023/03/17/the-magicians-elephant-review-by-valerie-kalfrin/

From John Wick to The Wire and beyond, Lance Reddick was an actor who elevated every production he was involved with. A fierce talent gone way too soon at just 60. #RIP
