Antebellum

Poorly directed and a story that rambles. We get it. The South sucks and racists live on. You need more than that to make a good movie.

A cartoon like depiction of a national tragedy in the vein of "The Village" or "Inglorius Bastards". Agian bad white people vs good black people. There is a cringy early scene where the BFF of the main character is dressing down a man, only seen in profile from the waist up, in what looked like a reverse descrimatory way. Again whites subdue black people for their own pleasure as in "Them" in a strange Stepford Wives like twist. Ofcourse in the Woke worldview only the Southern U.S. had slaves...like not infact the whole world past and present. Please stop making movies that not only do not present the truth but cause even more devision and ranker. A Afrocentric presentation that some simpletons might believe is true. Hopefully this movie will be relegated to the dust bin of history. Poor movie.

The big twist is majorly stupid

3 & 1/4 stars to this thriller about Neo-racists. The pieces finally begin to fit when modern technology appears despite the African-Americans being held in slavery. It ends well for society.

A massive waste of time. Imagine Django but it's not funny, intelligent, scary, or fun to watch. This is written like some kind of black against white revenge porn without any historical accuracy or intelligent point to make. I watched for free while getting my tire changed, you're a clown if you pay to watch this haha

Overall, while Antebellum has stunning visuals, an eerie soundtrack and a reliable performance by Janelle Monae, this film is somewhat disappointing to see. As a plot, it is filled with dull moments, and while it delivers a twist reveal, this feels more of a weak trick thanks to the director's attempt to be creative, which I can somewhat appreciate. The trailer and the poster will hint that this film is a new horror style, but surprise! It's not. Antebellum is a drama that carries minor elements of thrills and is bound to please some audiences.

I see what it was trying to do but tried too hard. Eye roll worthy. Don't copy cat racism and project it. Just be original and genuine.

The first two-thirds were a totally disjointed, senseless mess. The last third was very underutilized as I felt it was all that was needed, and things should have grown and been elaborated on from what was in the final third.

Movies are supposed to draw you in and suspend your belief that it isn't real. The first part was very disturbing mistreatment. Once the prequel segment starts you think she was dreaming, and then she gets kidnapped and you realize its all a farce? At that point , the movie just becomes silly. Makes no sense that these people were all kidnapped and then all the sudden just accept their fates. In reality? It would have been a fight to the death immediately. These people would not have been so subservient. I had to fast forward on this one. Movies that I have to do this with? IMO. Suck.

It took some time to get into the plot but once you realized its not a dream at all...
