For as much hype as this film gets for its performances and visuals, I still feel like it hasn’t been talked about enough. I just rewatched it for the first time since its release, and the impact is still incredible. In some ways, it’s even better on a rewatch, you pick up on more and gain a deeper appreciation for what the film is doing. This time I was really able to lock in on the sound design, and it truly feels like the kind of film that will be talked about for years to come. Miles Caton probably delivered my favorite performance of the year & at the very least, it’s in my top three and it’s a shame he didn’t receive a nomination for Best Supporting Actor. I understand that the category was extremely stacked and he might not have won, but it still would’ve been great to see him recognized. Michael B. Jordan deserves his flowers as well. If he walks away with Best Actor, I definitely wouldn’t be mad. He’s just so easy to root for, and seeing him deliver a performance like that was incredible. Ryan Coogler once again proves that he’s here to stay and will remain one of the premier filmmakers for a long time. I’m excited to see what he does next and to watch his incredible vision hit the big screen.
