Chi-Raq
Based on the famous ancient play, this movie, follows a group of women, who after the death of an innocent child by a bullet, gather and compose a group, as they revolute and protest against many issues, such as race and sex in America and the world.

A film unlike any other this year.

This overlong picture is already repetitive and unfocused by the second act; by the third, it has made its point a thousand times over.

Astonishing. Up there with Lee's very best.

While Chi-Raq may not be for everyone, it certainly exhibits a strong passion for artistic creativity that never falters for a second.

It's messy in places, as Lee's movies tend to be. But there isn't a moment that Chi-Raq isn't alive. This is a deeply serious, biting picture that also has joy in its heart.

It's a mess. But it makes an impression. Chi-Raq has the force of topical-art inevitability. If it didn't exist, you feel, someone would have had to invent it.

You long for "Chi-Raq" to succeed. Sad to report, it's an awkward affair, stringing out its tearful scenes of mourning, and going wildly astray with its lurches into farce.

Lee's film is worth seeing for its bombastic excess and camo-clad dance scenes. But if you're looking for tactful visual responses to the Black Lives Matter movement and the effects of police brutality, this isn't it.

There's genuine outrage behind Lee's angry blast of hip-hop agitprop, and his fury has good cause... Unfortunately, his film is also a gaudy mess.

Never subtle, always strident and absolutely necessary.

It's sexy, brash, and potent - a powerful weapon in its own right.

Lee returns to engaging, enraged form with Chi-Raq, combining social commentary, anger, humour, dramatics and over-the-top style in a sometimes messy mix that uses every trick necessary to put a spotlight on America's poisonous love affair with guns.
