Recently, I went, with my husband, to see the film Chi-Raq. I knew the film would be satirical, but beyond that, I had avoided reading all reviews, beyond headlines, which would enable me to watch the film with an open mind. Because much of the film was handled in couplets, I decided to use the same format for my review below. Perhaps my perspective will provide some insight about this film.
There are some serious naturalistas in this film wearing fros and other natural styles. Kudos to Spike Lee for that! So Check out my review below, which was also published by Huffington Post here:
