Ranking April 2017's Movies From Worst To Best

by Jack Pooley

1. I Am Not Your Negro

I Am Not Your Negro
Magnolia Pictures

RottenTomatoes Score: 99% (8.9/10)

Box Office: The $1 million documentary has benefited from incredible reviews and prior awards buzz, propelling it to a remarkable $7 million take so far.

Verdict: A shocking but absolutely vital document of America's racist history, I Am Not Your Negro exploits James Baldwin's unforgettable words for maximum emotional power in a film that couldn't feel more relevant in the current socio-political climate.

It's not an exaggeration to say this should probably be a required text in schools around the world, for while it occasionally succumbs to some amateur directorial tricks, the sheer righteous anger on display makes it incredibly difficult to shake.
