Détroit

Ce film parfois fort, mais ultimement inégal, s'articule autour d'un scénario ambitieux, qui fait porter à un seul personnage l'odieux d'un racisme systémique. 

Au final, Detroit risque d'en décevoir plus d'un, car il n'est pas le drame social tant attendu sur l'une des trois plus importantes émeutes de l'histoire des États-Unis.

Un très grand film qui risque de mettre le feu dans la poudrière des divisions raciales.

Même si les événements auxquels elle fait écho se sont déroulés il y a 50 ans, l'effet de miroir jette sur notre époque un reflet férocement actuel. Et douloureux.

If nothing else, movies like Detroit are protection against forgetting, so that what happens in Detroit doesn’t stay in Detroit.

Director Kathryn Bigelow, in her first film since 'Zero Dark Thirty,' dramatizes an incident of police terrorism at the heart of the 1967 Detroit riot, creating a drama as powerful as it is timely.

This searing historical drama traces the roots — and the devastating aftermath — of the city’s 1967 unrest.

Detroit is one hell of an endurance test and will leave you craving closure as the credits roll, but it will also undoubtedly go down as one of the finest films of the year. 

I hit a breaking point I didn’t realize I had. I was disturbed so deeply by what I witnessed that I left the theater afterward in tears.

Bringing together a fantastic young ensemble, each member delivering an utterly gripping performance, it's a stunning, emotional cinematic experience with a clear statement to make and a powerful delivery.

Oscar-winning filmmaker turns the Motor City's 1967 riot into devastating case study of police brutality, misjustice and need for healing.

But its insights never elevate to present a more exalted or acute perspective on what went down 50 summers ago.
