The American Society of Magical Negroes
I’m not sure why everyone hates on this film so much. I thought it was a really good watch. It is chock full of social commentary. I had to stop and pause it every fifteen minutes or so to explain some of the nuance in the dialogue to the non-black people I was watching it with.

As an idea, this had major potential. The fever dream feeling for the first 30 mins went hard, so much so that i genuinely thought I was dreaming. The messages and jokes took me out, though, in a bad way. It had some sense in how the 'American Society' works, but it felt way too unrealistic. I guess it hit how race works in most scenarios, but it focused on race entirely, which isn't really the case. I hope I'm making more sense than this movie. The acting was stiff. The dialogue had some potential. All in all, it's the opposite of an escape, but it gives an inside to black/white stereotypes.

Absolutely beautiful and fun take on how respect for eachother shapes the human race. The acting was amazing and the jokes (while under my breath on a plane) were so unique! Everything aside, my heart ached and tears flowed at the climax. The end is so funny too!

pretty funny & unserious while having a genuinely v important message regarding what it’s like to navigate life as someone from a marginalized community. but i lowkey get why it didn’t do well - it’s hard to market a movie that shows the message thru this plot
