A uniquely formalist film about the Black experience, a film about being both a victim and a murderer, and about simultaneously being oppressed, while also being an oppressor. Ultimately, it is a film about Black assimilation into Anglo-Saxonism, and the complications that arise from a fractured identity. These ideas, while being incredibly ripe for thought, ultimately come across as a bit jumbled. The whole film feels rather jumbled, actually, like some discordant fever dream, which excites in a sensory way, but which does not quite make an effective appeal to logos.
