Rating: 4/5 --
Despite its many flaws, Detroit is essential viewing, at the very least for keeping the conversation about race going in a country where bigoted behavior is validated.

DETROIT is angry, lucid, bludgeoning, subtle, and at times surprisingly moving.
Film Comment
[A]n an American horror story rooted so deeply and shamefully in home soil that it is still painful to watch half a century after the true events it’s based on took place. -- Grade: A-
Entertainment Weekly
It understands and strives to dramatize racism not as a matter of bad personal attitudes or equal and opposite prejudices, but rather as a structuring fact of American life, an apparatus of power, exclusion and control...
New York Times
[T]he tense, harrowingly intimate DETROIT rounds out a trilogy of fact-based, fog-of-war interpretive histories. Even though it’s based on an episode that occurred half a century ago, it feels like her timeliest movie yet.
Washington Post
[A] tense, excruciating and entirely necessary new film...
Los Angeles Times
Rating: 4/5 --
Overall, Detroit paints a grim and upsetting picture on civil rights in the 1960s, but one that needs to be depicted for modern audiences. Through Bigelow's direction and a standout performance from Poulter, it needs to be seen to be believed.

Product Description:
Director Kathryn Bigelow (THE HURT LOCKER, ZERO DARK THIRTY) and screenwriter Mark Boal reteam for this docudrama about the Detroit race riots of July 1967, which engulfed the city for five days after the public were outraged by the brutality of a police raid on an unlicensed bar. The film eventually zeros in on one particular incident at the Algiers Motel, where a group of black men and white women were terrorized (and some killed) by police officers. John Boyega, Will Poulter, Algee Smith, Jacob Latimore, Anthony Mackie, Jason Mitchell, Jack Reynor, Hannah Murray, Kaitlyn Dever, and John Krasinski star.
