Review: Bohemian Rhapsody

Review: Bohemian Rhapsody

For those seeking nothing more than a rollicking good time, Bohemian Rhapsody largely gets the job done. But those looking for some depth – or, heck, even some historical context – will be sorely disappointed, as the film wreaks havoc on chronology, ignores key albums and songs.

'BlacKkKlansman' star John David Washington reflects during Fim Festival Q&A

The star of the acclaimed Spike Lee film speaks to the timeliness of Ron Stallworth's story
SEVERAL TIMES during the SCAD Savannah Film Festival’s screening of BlacKkKlansman at the Lucas Theatre, the dialogue was momentarily inaudible due to either the immense laughter or rapturous applause that would erupt from the audience. It’s not a surprising reaction given the critical and commercial success that the film has achieved since its release.
