Surprisingly good take for the Guardian.
I could be wrong, but I don't recall hearing the words Marx or Marxism uttered even once in the film. The Queen's Gambit had more mentions of Marxism-Leninism.

I don’t get why people wanted the movie to be a documentary on the Black Panthers’ activities. It’s not even a biopic. It’s a crime/snitch movie about Hampton’s betrayal by O’Neal. It tells that story and it tells it well. How much Marx or Mao were mentioned didn’t really factor into the movie’s quality, and even then, the BPP’s political inclinations are made abundantly clear. I guess it’s too bad they didn’t use the word “communism” so all the criticism could be directed at other aspects of the movie.
