Black Is King

POSITIVES…

  • If you’re a huge fan of everything Beyonce, then this should be perfect for you.

  • As a movie that’s primarily a huge music album; not unlike Michael Jackson’s “Moonwalker” and less like “Hamilton,” there are at least songs here that are nice and catchy.

  • I like that this is heavily influenced by Disney’s The Lion King, and it’s almost like a pseudo remake, with more social commentary. Just think of that if you’re trying to figure out the story of this movie.

  • Has some great striking stylistic visuals to see and admire.

  • There are themes to the narrative; that are established by the monologues, songs, and visuals, that are worth exploring further.

  • Can be seen as meditative, spiritual, and celebratory.

NEGATIVES…

  • In the sense of film cinema, this is what would be considered very very very artsy. Probably will be a big turn-off for a lot of people.

  • Those looking for a traditional narrative are going to be very disappointed.

  • Due to the abstract nature of the plot progression, there’s no real character to get invested in, which might not keep your interest in seeing through the movie.

  • Might not grab your attention at all, and boredom will set in.

  • For a movie that relies on the music a whole lot, I’m sorry to say that there are songs that I just didn’t care for at all.
