Wokeness 5/5

Overall 4/5
Poor Excellent

Aside from the obvious go-to choice

Of course this film centers around black issues and has a black cast. For that, it's actually a great story and Jeffrey Wright is a cool lead.

Why the gay brother? Why gay? He could have been the "black sheep" of the family for having a lazy eye, or being the youngest, or oldest sibling, or maybe he talked with a lisp. And over-the-top, speedo wearing gays for no other reason than to move the agenda forward. Shame, an interesting story with great acting hijacked by Hollywood box-checkers.

Nicely skewers the beliefs of woke people about black culture

This was well written and well acted. Yes, it’s about the issues that black people face and one of the main characters is gay and those are both things that would score high on the studio’s DEI requirements. BUT, mostly the film makes fun of what woke white people think about black people and how such people actually make life harder for the people they claim to be allied to.
That’s a noble mission in my book! So ON BALANCE, not woke for me.
