Schrödinger’s movie
Previous reviews rate this film as 5/5 woke and 0/5 woke. It is simultaneously woke and anti-woke, and only after you watch it will you know what it is for you. The core message is anti-woke, yet it has one character who will be repulsive to the non-woke. This film follows a black author who, desperate to get published, writes about fictional oppression. This highlights the core problem with wokeness: it's a grift. We also see the championing of faux black injustices by white suburbanites. The blacks sitting at the same table try to bring them back to reality, but the woke whites outvote them, how apropos. The black author has a PhD, his brother is a plastic surgeon, his sister is a hospital doctor, and his black girlfriend is a lawyer. The father is described as a genius, as is the black author. This is laying it on thick, but I was able to suspend disbelief, in part because Jeffrey Wright plays the genius role so well (and often). Why oh why did they have to make the brother gay? The character is a very unsympathetic, cocaine-binging, orgy in-your-face kind of gay. This character was also gay in the novel upon which the film is based, "Erasure", but the film deviates significantly in other ways, so pity they didn't "erase" this character. The intention may have been to criticize this lifestyle, but it does not succeed in doing so, since some characters accept him as he is. The ending is masterful. Oddly, multiple IMDB reviewers thought the ending missed the mark. So, YMMV. I will give it a 2/5 woke rating for the homosexual character and his gay lovers. For me, the anti-woke aspects do not compensate. The film is less enjoyable as a result, overall just average, 3/5.

Woke trash
Too much woke for me, they aren’t even trying to be subtle in this show.

White men are dumb according to one asian female detective.
Good movie minus the asian detective scenes. She bashes men constantly, white men specifically and is generally miserable. Keaton is great here and outside of a few scenes, the movie is enjoyable.

We wuz beat up by bouncers
This movie and its extremely diverse shoehorned in cast have exceeded the diversity quota. If you are looking to watch a movie with the demographic make up of nigeria, look no further.
