…The most worthwhile aim of director George Tillman, Jr.’s (“Notorious”) ambitious adaption of Angie Thomas’s multifaceted 2017 YA novel “The Hate U Give” is its complex portrayal of modern- day activism.

…Killing off a television character tends to present a strange paradox: A character’s absence can be so deeply felt that it manifests as an unsettling ghost-like presence.
