Newly released, Judas & the Black Messiah follows the black panther chapter leader Fred Hampton, and his run-in with an FBI informant William O’Neal.
While period dramas are already a popular genre on their own, this period drama had an interesting artistic look as well. In my opinion, many period dramas are overwhelming in costume preparation and stage setting. Some really force these background details down your throat, and make you notice that the entire production team tried really hard to make it look real. However, in this film, between the cinematography and editing, the entire film was poignant, subtle and very well done. This film is available in theaters and HBOMax, as part of Warner Brothers Pictures new simultaneous releases program. It is a great watch, and the first movie in some time where I was truly immersed.
