This action thriller is made with the hope that the black youth of America will feel empowered, and realize the significance of their heritage.

“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.

"Hustlers" returns power to groups that are traditionally deprived of it: women, the working class, and sex workers.

“Candyman ain't a 'he.’ Candyman is the whole damn hive." Candyman represents all Black victims of white supremacy, and this art form narratively conveys it in a succinct, adulatory way, the history of which is rare to find.

A24 keeps producing amazing films and X belongs with all the brilliant titles under its name. And is definitely a must-watch for a film enthusiast!

One of the great achievements of this film is its ability to challenge the mind and to force you to try to process information in a different way than you’re used to.
