Excellent but underrated film
Don't listen to the negative reviews
A Masterpiece!
What blows me away the most about BlacKkKlansman was its ability to profitably blend such a serious and calamitous subject with an appropriate amount of comedy. Only a long-in-the-business, cinematic master like Spike Lee could pull off such a trick, and he does it without complication. It's also refreshing to see that Spike Lee avoids stereotypes even when depicting some of the more unpleasant and nefarious characters/groups, allowing the film to feel less biased and more grounded in reality with various angles interweaving. BlacKkKlansman contains one of the most hard-hitting, politically dynamic screenplays (right next to Blindspotting) of the year that had me infatuated with revelation. It certainly is one of Spike Lee's best joints in years, maybe even decades. (Verdict: A-)
Perfect timing for release with the craziness with the POTUS and the White House. Has enough "comedy" to make it fun for such a serious topic. Great performances from everyone. A bit confusing at the end but that's how the real story went....interesting how this film holds up over time.

This movie is entertaining and smart, well acted and shot, at times funny and at times very serious. What makes it all great though is that it finds that perfect balance between funny and serious and manages to walk down it without falling to either side! John David Washington and Adam Driver are great in it, as is Topher Grace and really the cast overall. If it sounds even a little interesting to you, I urge you to check it out.
