At least I hope not. It looks like an interesting film, and I love Janelle Monae. She was great in "Hidden Figures" and "Moonlight."

Jordan Peele. He's already been mining this Racism/Horror vein for a few years.

Don't sweat it; it's consciousness-raising and entertaining.

It has more to worry about from the corona virus than the BLM issues.

If Jordan Peele stays on form, it will be right on target with the BLM movement.

However, ongoing limitations on theater attendance could put a real damper on it.
