Saw Dear White People

@mastermind was pretty much on point. I didn't laugh once, and it was very heavy-handed and just sorta blahhhh.

In terms of the satire and the messages the movie was sending it was all preaching to the choir but I'm guessing that's why it was addressed to white people.

It was like those Buzzfeed type articles that poke fun at white people in movie form, those ubiquitous lists and internet think pieces that more or less all have the same messages about black life in the united states.

And I didn't really have much time for any of the characters at all.

the movie is for them. Those are the only reviewers who are saying its brilliant. Along with the Rembrandt-types.

It just wasnt good.

exactly. The only character I slightly cared about was the gay black kid, but he lost me at the party. It just wasnt good. I told my friends that and they got mad at me or tried to tell me I was wrong.

Movie was 5/10. They really could've done so much more but ironically they ended up white washing themselves. Hopefully someone makes a similar more poignant movie down the line.

With that being said... What movies does the OFT like?

I'm trying to watch that new Michael keaton flick when it comes my way.
