BlacKkKlansman

Watching the first half of this, I was really impressed. Despite some typical Spike Lee weirdness (i.e. scenes going on too long, weird camera angles, etc.), it was an emotional and gripping biopic. But during the second half, I began to roll my eyes. Embellishments to the true story seemed preposterous. The story falls away, the hero’s journey peters out, and the movie becomes just a preachy essay. Too bad. It started out really good.
