Critics' reviews

"Led by sensational performances from [Daniel Kaluuya and LaKeith Stanfield] (...) this is a scalding account of oppression and revolution, coercion and betrayal, rendered more shocking by the undiminished currency of its themes"

David Rooney: The Hollywood Reporter
"Daniel Kaluuya ignites the screen in the fiery, unmissable 'Judas and the Black Messiah' (...) [King] gives the movie a lush high-theatrical style, full of artful tableaux and restless, rippling energy"

Leah Greenblatt: Entertainment Weekly
"The powerful film puts the current moment into fresh historical context and suggests that ambivalence can its own form of betrayal."

Peter Debruge: Variety
"[It] satisfies both as tense thriller and insightful period piece featuring two of the most captivating actors in Hollywood (…) Rating: ★★★ (out of 4)"

Brian Truitt: USA Today
"In the coolly electrifying 'Judas and the Black Messiah,' you can’t take your eyes off Daniel Kaluuya"

Justin Chang: Los Angeles Times
"One of the best films of 2021 (...) [The characters'] and their struggles feel real and present, rather than like mouthpieces or means to an end"

Karen Han: Slate
"'Judas' is impeccably conceived (...) If cinema is political, Shaka King has made a manifesto."

Carlos Aguilar: The Wrap
