Dear White People (2014)

Snarky, witty film that's about more than just race

[9/10 · 24 July 2014]

Dear White People is a quick-witted film with a provocative title. For those who have not seen the full film, there is definitely more to it than what's revealed in the trailer. Initially focusing on race, the film goes deeper into the unexpected and unique aspects of each character, uncovering more than what's just skin deep and taking a look at identity. It's a very interesting movie about self acceptance in a world where issues around race, sexual orientation, and general stereotyping still exist. This film is much more than a black film about race issues in America. I highly recommend it for folks who are interested in a bold film with great dialogue and archetypal characters turned multidimensional.
