Spike Lee’s magnificent biopic of the eponymous activist and orator – embodied by Denzel Washington in an astonishing, Academy Award-nominated performance – combines a vast sweep reminiscent of the great cinematic epics with a propulsive stylistic verve characteristic of Lee at his freewheeling best. Exhilarating, absorbing and deeply moving, Malcolm X is an unforgettable monument to its subject.
