COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Great dark comedy submitted by beeniepie on July 3, 2015, 8:56pm An unflinching dark comedy about race, a subject many film makers are intimidated to take on. The racial politics within races was spot on, and included today's obsession with confessional youtube videos and popularity. Watch the special features! I had no idea this started off as a short.

Not So Funny submitted by Beth Manuel on July 14, 2015, 7:26pm Personally, I did not find myself laughing a lot at this film, mostly because I don't find racism very funny. But the satirical aspect of being black in a white world did make its point, for sure. Worth a watch, it's not very long.

Dear White People submitted by a2sue on August 1, 2015, 6:42pm "Dear White People" is not worth watching more than once!

spoiler submitted by mandevil on February 7, 2019, 9:50am I was disappointed that Leon cut his hair at the end. Strong black characters, white characters very stereotyped but probably that was part of the point

AMAZING and informative submitted by czadams on August 28, 2022, 7:25pm Wonderful and insightful Black characters! Love it! I learned a lot about privilege and oppression and dynamics within the Black communities.
