“It has everything wrong with it: nostalgia for plantation slavery, enslaved Black people who are fiercely loyal to their masters, infantilization of African-Americans, a none-too-disguised portrayal of the KKK as heroes, and just to spice things up some more, a supposedly feisty, independent heroine who is the subject of marital rape and has a shit-eating grin on her face the morning after. And yet, it is a masterpiece, cinematically speaking.”
