I Am Not Your Negro's reviews
Media reviews
The Guardian
"It is 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."
Time
"Peck captures all that's galvanizing and forceful about Baldwin's words and demeanor."
New York Times
"Baldwin is a double character in Mr. Peck?s film. The elegance and gravity of his formal prose, and the gravelly authority of Mr. Jackson?s voice, stand in contrast to his quicksilver on-camera presence as a lecturer and television guest."
The Wrap
"No movie is going to fix the world, but films like 'I Am Not Your Negro' demand accountability from its audience, both on a personal level and as a community of human beings."
The Hollywood Reporter
"It is a searing and topical indictment of racial prejudice and hatred in America that makes for uneasy viewing and is not easily forgotten."
