Mario Van Peebles directs and stars in this almost documentary biopic about the making of his father’s genre-launching Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song. The picture chronicles the hardships of Melvin Van Peebles production of an unwanted, but necessary, picture, through casting to release–a fascinating glimpse of the insider’s view of a classic.

Grade: A-.
