Sorry, we can't find any suggestions at the moment.
Roger Guenveur Smith performs his one man show focusing on the life and times of Rodney King.
Leave your thoughts about Rodney King.
| RogerEbert.comMatt Zoller SeitzThis is Smith's show, and it's all about the writing here, with Smith serving more as a town crier, an information delivery device in human form. |
| The Hollywood ReporterSheri LindenLee and Smith shine a damning, sorrowful light on American racism, through the shattered prism of spring 1992 in Los Angeles. With its dazzling wordplay and densely layered profusion of history and biography, Rodney King is an experience as cerebral as it is visceral. |
| FlavorwireJason Bailey'Rodney King' is a powerful piece of work, putting us in his head during that still-shocking beating, Smith counting off the baton hits in a manner that returns this historical event into the realm of the visceral and personal. |
| GuardianPeter BradshawThe performance is austere and challenging, it takes us through the grim events, their aftermath and the long endgame of King’s life, but without the emollient or lenient notes that a Hollywood treatment might attempt. It is a requiem of a sort, and a sombre indication of all that has not yet healed, or been fixed. |
| MTVAmy NicholsonLee is credited as a director for filming a live performance of Rodney King on an outdoor stage in New York. But Lee mostly seems to have loaned Smith his brand name to get the monologue attention. He doesn't leave a fingerprint on the play, and didn't care about where to put the cameras. The angles make no sense; the edits are clumsy. |
| AV ClubA.A. DowdThis is the second time Lee has filmed one of Smith’s plays, and like A Huey P. Newton Story, about the Black Panthers founder, it’s more of a valuable document of an event than a full-fledged movie. |
| User ReviewRandy YNot really what I was expecting (wasn't a documentary, but a one man show). Surprisingly, the man and his slam poetry type performance managed to keep my attention for most of the show. Some heavy moments/topics,and well delivered. |
