★★★★ - The Guardian
"It's a powerful tale of human frailty", "fiercely watchable and passionately performed drama ...with barnstorming performances from Lakeith Stanfield and Daniel Kaluuya"
★★★★ - Empire
"Buoyed by a trio of standout performances, this freshly resonant thriller brings urgent life to one of the Black Panther movement's greatest tragedies. Shaka King is a force to be reckoned with."
★★★★ - Time Out
"Daniel Kaluuya provides a towering: all coiled power, oratorical savvy and meticulously-researched authenticity."
★★★★ - The Telegraph
"a classic paranoid thriller turned inside-out – a nerve-wrenching conspiracy movie that ends up closing in on one of its conspirators." "...which has Oscars in its sights"
★★★★ - Observer
"Letting his talented cast lead the way, King has made a film centered on roiled emotions and relationships that are at once fractured and loving."
