Judas and the Black Messiah - Anmeldelser

...et overrumplende knytnæveslag af samfundskritik og åndeløs spænding.

...Daniel Kaluuya gives an electrifying performance that raises the hairs on the back of your neck.

Assured of the righteousness of its own politics, the film forces you to catch up to the Panthers, illuminating on screen how they cultivated “a culture that will free you” and the governmental manipulation necessary to suppress that culture.

...a punchy, full-bodied and bitingly topical tale of passion, politics and betrayal, wrapped in a crime drama and played with commitment by a note-perfect cast.

The English-born Kaluuya scorches the screen with an undiluted blast of star power, a thrilling, moving portrayal of human dimensions in a larger-than-life scale.

...a biography so fully, soulfully realized that it shakes the dust off of history.

Buoyed by a trio of standout performances, this freshly resonant thriller brings urgent life to one of the Black Panther movement’s greatest tragedies.

...what a high-octane charge of excitement Kaluuya and Stanfield bring to the screen simply by showing up.

...a gripping drama that intersects fleetingly with that overpraised awards favourite 'The Trial of the Chicago 7' (...), but feels altogether more substantial and satisfying.

Det är spännande mest hela tiden.

Både kostym och scenografi etablerar en sömlös tidsresa till 1960-talets Chicago...

Tonträffen när det gäller musik, kläder, bilar, attityder och allt annat är perfekt.

...Daniel Kaluuya [leverer] karrierens bedste præstation, og filmens fremstilling af institutionel racisme i USA (...) er skræmmende aktuel.
