It proves how hard it is to make a remarkable film like Get Out or Us...this works on paper but doesn't earn its keep on screen.

The visual style (lots of slow-mo) is sometimes overdone. But the ideas are alive, Monáe is a star and the drama is quietly unsettling.
It's an audacious swing - but ultimately a miss from a pair of filmmakers who know exactly what they want to say, and haven't yet mastered how best to say it.

Antebellum doesn't so much concertina the past and the present as do a leering jig back and forth, then blow you a callous raspberry instead.

Antebellum offers neither a coherent social commentary nor - thanks to its pat, ahistorical ending - a revenge thriller's catharsis.

Monáe aside, the cast should perhaps have been reminded that their performances were actually being filmed.
