Critic Reviews for A Huey P. Newton Story
All Critics (9) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (9) | Rotten (0)
The production doesn't resolve the paradoxes in Newton's life, but it does give viewers some idea of what it might have been like to be inside his head.
By bringing Newton alive, Smith opens the door for further exploration of this colorful, insightful figure.
The anger and frustration toward racial injustice that fuels Newton's tears and tirades are framed beautifully by director Lee.
While undeniably compelling to watch, this slant tends to underline the negative aspects of Newton's legacy at the expense of his achievements.
The film represents a new triumph for Lee, one that comes closer to Do the Right Thing than nearly anything else in his career.
The film is one long monologue of Huey's inner mind , culminating in a riveting shadow boxing dance by Smith, who then sits down for the final end.
