It's a really good movie. It's not some Black Panther militant stuff (or else it wouldn't have gotten distribution) but it doesn't make white people feel comfortable either. The white people who would watch this probably aren't the people who need to see it the most anyway.

Good film, but it felt more like a drama than a comedy to me. I like that the film didn't try to go for some cheesy "feel good" resolution. The conclusion feels realistic and natural.

Finally got to see it today and I thought the movie was extremely well written but unfortunately lacking in the (technical) execution. It feels like a student film or a filmed stage play in the sense it just never hits into a groove or flow. The cinematography and editing is stiff, a problem only emphasized by the movie's lifeless soundtrack that uses songs as background noise and nothing more. It's dry, wry, and in dire need of a man with cinematic vision.

But as said, I thought as far as the writing went it was close to being perfect. It might've tried to take on more issues than it could handle but at least it served the point that it's simply a complex world that isn't as black and white as people, both white and black, like to pretend. But funny enough it mostly tries to teach black people that, because the only message the movie has for white people is that their obsession with black people is really fukked up.

:scusthov: @ this flick. Not a single likeable character. Just a huge melting pot of confused black archetypes.

However this is what I expect from Black folks @ prestigious white institutions. :manny:

So it gets points for that :ehh:
