I am not your negro

...a striking work of storytelling. By assembling the scattered images and historical clips suggested by Baldwin’s writing, I Am Not Your Negro is a cinematic séance, and one of the best movies about the civil rights era ever made.

...an excellent primer for those less familiar with Baldwin.

En mäktig och omvälvande essäfilm.

På en gang anklagende og imødekommende, harmdirrende og afmålt.

...'I Am Not Your Negro' er en vigtig film, og det giver forhåbentligt folk lyst til at dykke ned i James Baldwins omfattende værker, for de er stadig aktuelle.

...operates on many levels at once: It’s not only a fresh vessel for Baldwin’s own analysis of black life in America, but a platform for his assessment of other great thinkers who informed his views.
