When VERY talented writer/directors do their movies THEIR own way, will make a movie that is more than excellent. This film is, without a doubt, one of the best movies I've seen so far this year. I was immediately drawn in by the story and how it gradually unfolded. At first, it appeared to be a historical drama set in the past, possibly during or after the era of slavery, with a focus on personal stories from that time. However, the narrative quickly evolved. The dynamic between the father and son-especially the son's rebellion against his father's strict values and desire to do more than just attend church-added depth and tension. What truly impressed me was the unexpected plot twist. The story took a sharp, thrilling turn and transformed into something completely different, keeping me engaged and surprised. Michael B. Jordan delivered a powerful performance, bringing authenticity and emotion to every scene. The setting and dialogue reminded me of my southern roots in Alabama-the way the characters talked, interacted, and carried themselves felt familiar and real, which made the film even more impactful. Another standout element was the sudden shift into horror. The transition was so unexpected and intense, it genuinely shocked me-in the best way. The film also included several emotional scenes that added even more depth to the story. Overall, this was an outstanding movie. I thoroughly enjoyed it and plan to own it once it becomes available for purchase. It was beautifully acted, deeply emotional, and full of surprises. It's a truly great film-I loved it. When you let Ryan Coogler cook, a product is this movie. 9/10.
