By exploring the disparate experiences of Africans and African Americans, Coogler shines a bright light on the psychic scars of slavery’s legacy and how black Americans endure the real-life consequences of it in the present day. […] T’Challa and Killmonger are mirror images, separated only by the accident of where they were born.” — TIME
