It’s fun, it’s energetic, but it’s also understated and vicarial. Zola is a modern black fairytale and future of black movies.

This horror movie combines elements of horror and babysitting with Black representation.

“And I think to myself….what a wonderful world”. Louis Armstrong sang about this notion via his classic 1967 song, an ode to witnessing elements of our life that should be but some reminders of exactly what that concluding line of each verse indicates.

It sounds harsh, but again, so much of what is occurring speaks not to beauty, but bedlam.
