The audio and imagery of this film are breathtaking. And yes, I said "film". Non-narrative films exist. Knowing that this is a visual album with a loose-thematic basis in The Lion King, I don't know how you could be disappointed.
Mixing imagery, cultures, and languages from every corner of Africa gives Black is King a very pan-African feel that mostly works well.
Black is King is first and foremost a celebration of blackness and it is beautiful, although not as subversive or deep as Lemonade. It's not a perfect film, but it is great and definitely worth the watch!
Also: There is nothing political or "anti-white" about this film; neither is there any connection to BLM or anti-state-violence activism within this film as previous reviewers have erroneously implied (not that there is anything wrong with being political or critiquing state violence in a film, most films are political, grow up about it). If you didn't make it past the title, please refrain from leaving a review.
