This thread nails it. Summer of Soul is the film of the year for me so far. An amazing cinematic experience at a theater. Seen twice already. It’ll be on Hulu forever, see in a theater if possible.
Saw Summer of Soul, first of what I’m sure will be many viewings. Excellent in every way. I’m glad people aren’t making the mistake of assuming it is effective just because there’s good footage. This thing is edited like a Fosse picture. Structurally brilliant.
