A beautiful, moving, necessary picture of a man that's so often demonized and pitted against the philosophies of MLK. Lee's film is still potent, especially now, and every scene is so full of life and energy that the running time never drags the film down. It's a spiritual movement that embraces Malcolm X as both a man and something more.

Doesn't completely avoid the typical problems that make most biopics such a drag (EG: Malcolm's prison conversion is little more than a lengthy exposition by an assigned father figure about what his beliefs should be). Still, this tracks the development of its subject better than the vast majority of the genre and maintains a good pace despite a nearly 3.5 hour runtime. Lee's visual style is the icing on the cake and elevates it even further.

A full and comprehensive biography, the film passes its airy start and gets better as it goes, becoming more conflict-driven, riveting, and even a little tense. I feel, apart from the overblown ending, this is a stylistically sensationalised, yet fairly even-handed portrayal of this man who seemed to constantly shift his already controversial opinions.

Epic biopic that portrays a complex vision of a fascinatingly contradictory man, Lee's most ambitious film zeroes in on 3 main phases of Malcolm's life: his early criminal years, his prison years (where he converted to Islam) and his rise to prominence as a distinguished and fearsome spokesman for the Nation of Islam. The sprawl of the project is impressive, and Denzel Washington's performance captures Malcolm's passionate gift for oratory and his intense physical magnetism.
