2014 satirical comedy
Rating: 13/20
Plot: Four black students at an Ivy League college deal with controversy.
This movie seemed so sure of itself. The satire felt a little obvious, and not all of the humor landed. It was easier to connect with some of the four central characters and their flaws more than others.
This seems like just the right time for this movie and its themes. I appreciated the effort more than I liked the movie, however.
Those looking for answers aren't really going to get them here. This is that type of movie that does a great job raising issues and asking questions, but it doesn't really provide any easy answers. Of course, there likely isn't any easy answer out there.
