  The Underground Railroad 2021

  ★★★★★ Watched 17 May 2021

  Barry Jenkin's melding of story and style is wholly unique and his. It is beyond me to discuss the story and it's standing in history but it is undeniable the rage and frustration present; yet he makes room for the resilience and love that people are capable of having. Especially his use of "The Gaze", building on what he did in MyJosephine, Moonlight and Beale Street, like a Pollock painting where you are forced to look inward.
