IndieWire's Best Black American Films of the 21st Century

"Black voices have always been essential to American cinema, but they're especially potent this summer, with two exciting upcoming releases: Boots Riley's 'Sorry To Bother You' and Spike Lee's 'BlacKkKlansman' have impressed critics and magnified the beating pulse of black identity politics, while skewering those persons and institutions that hinder black social and economic advancement. Though vastly different in tone and technique, they echo similar themes: Black American political disillusionment, the struggle for higher standards, and the pressure to maintain an authentic version of oneself.
With these potent ideas playing out at movie theaters across the country, we've arrived at a perfect opportunity to examine the best black American films of the 21st century." - indiewire.com
