Just saw the movie in theater today. Theater was fairly full. Thoroughly enjoyed it from beginning to end. Enjoyed being surprised many times. A 9 for me.
-
It's nice to see Jeffrey Wright becoming a household name.
-
Finally saw this today and absolutely loved it. The cast was great, so refreshing while it does have a number of comedic moments I really enjoyed the dramatic and emotional moments with this family. Wright and Brown deserve their award season recognition, hopefully they can win one of the big awards.
-
Seen over 250 movies in theaters this year and it's in serious contention for my favorite movie of the year.
-
I loved Jeffrey Wright ever since his amazing performance as Roy Cohn's nurse in "Angels In America"
-
I saw it yesterday and I loved it. I thought the last scene on the Hollywood lot was a great ending. Definitely one of the best movies of the year for me
-
Rooting hard for Jeffrey Wright & writer-director Cord Jefferson during Awards Season, have loved Cord's work on HBO's Watchmen, Station Eleven, The Good Place & Master of None.
-
Fantastic movie! Its a movie that satirically explores Class & Diversity within the Black community & how the main stream simply lumps the race into one & encourage / demand a certain stereotype.
-
Alonso, I love the shotgun shell Christmas ornaments on your tree. It gives me a newfound admiration for your personality.
-
Alonso, thanks for mentioning The Forty Year Old Version. I had never heard of that movie. I watched the trailer and that's another I need to watch!
-
I can't wait to see this movie! Jeffrey Wright has been incredibly consistent for so many years. What a great actor! I'm happy to see him and Paul Giamatti get so much love this awards season. ๐ Happy Holidays! ๐
-
Loved this, and it wasn't at all what I thought it would be based on that first trailer. Probably my favorite scene was the one with Keith David and Okieriete Onaodowan, which is kind of the thesis of the whole movie. Also, I was completely on Monk's side regarding that student in the opening scene -- her opinion on the offensiveness of that word has way less weight than his.
-
โEarrrrrned.โ Loving the John Houseman reference
-
A hilarious, impactful and heartfelt performance from Wright. I realize he may be the great actor of this era
-
Happy Holidays Christy & Alonso ๐ ๐๐
-
I enjoyed this film but I think the novel's original ending that reference Ellison's Invisible Man is more effective. Great review!
-
so well deserved for Jeffrey Wright
-
My favorite movie of the year. I know Jeffrey Wright is getting some award love. But I hope Sterling K Brown gets a nomination. Maybe his best performance.
-
This sounds really good! What a great cast!
-
Saw this last night and absolutely loved it. It's so savagely funny but so unexpectedly warm and heartfelt at the same time. Lots of valuable and timely insight about the pandering and shallow ways our culture often discusses race, and how people are reduced to their surface-level identities and nothing more. I miss these kinds of smart, fun adult studio comedies!
