Is the movie BlacKkKlansman woke?

BlacKkKlansman prioritizes political messaging over storytelling, using its historical setting as a vehicle for modern social commentary. While the premise is intriguing, the film leans heavily into ideological themes, often overshadowing character development and narrative depth. Instead of focusing on the true story’s nuances, it steers toward a heavy-handed critique that feels more like activism than entertainment.
