The 24th

"Buoyed by a charismatic performance from star and co-screenwriter Trai Byers, 'The 24th' can at times be cumbersomely didactic and formulaic, but it finds plenty of contemporary relevance in a story that should be far more widely known than it is." 

"[It] builds a foundation of Black culture as a force of self-definition and self-affirmation—of shared joy and collective purpose (...) [A] is a remarkable film" 

"[It] dramatizes real-life events so inherently appalling — and so presently relevant — that we should never feel less than engaged. Yet (...) makes its points with such a heavy hand that its horrors struggle to resonate." 

"[It] is both a corrective and a reminder of how far we still need to go (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 5)" 

"A sobering and worthwhile film for its exploration of the subject of police brutality and race and how little has really changed in over a century (…) Rating: ★★½ (out of 4)"
