at the end..."what are we talking about here guys?" lol so precious. the two guys dork out on comics and it sounded like something else to Christy
Riley Keough is quickly becoming one of this generation’s best actresses. And I agree, Colman Domingo is doing very good character work over the past several years.
Martin of Double Toasted (a movie podcast hosted by two veteran black critics) gave it a good review, so there's that.

So what? Black people aren't a team. We're not a monolith
@@SDIBINGA Obviously, I commented because Lemire wondered out loud how black critics are reviewing it.
@@joseaguilar3323 Obviously. What I meant was I don’t like when critics say things like that because it leans towards “ I wonder what the black people think about this” and I hate that way of thinking
Double toasted kinda sucks as reviewers ....they are incredibly surface level shallow
I wish you could have a spoiler discussion to talk about the end. I've heard some complain about where it cuts off and I think it arises from a lack of intimate knowledge of how the sex trafficking industry works. Which if anything is what this film really ends up being about.
Maybe you should watch it before getting clever about this.
(Spoiler alert!) Most of the reviewers miss this! And I'm not sure how much the Zola character realizes it. As for reviewers, it just takes a quick Google to find out why the real Jamaican pimp is behind bars: in part because he later attempted, with an assist from Stefani/Jessica, to force two other women into prostitution.
In the movie, Zola several times tries to persuade Stefani to leave the pimp,X, and Florida and go home. She also tells Stefani she can refuse to perform a particular sex act. And Stefani just submits, almost in a trance. What hold does X have over her? IRL, according to Zola, the pimp put her and Jessica's boyfriend on a plane home. They begged Jessica to come with them. In some ways, both real and movie Zola seem to know a lot more about the sex industry than she lets on and, yet, the real woman was only 19 during this episode. She had no frame of reference for Jessica's submissive behavior perhaps?
The 4 leads in this movie are all incredible at acting
Riley keough is just incredibly versatile
I'm 30 years old and this film made me feel fucking ancient.
I'm 34 and dunno what you meant
@@andreitarkovsky3214 I guess I'm an old soul.
I really liked this movie. I hated how it abruptly ended.
Cousin Greg is a comedic genius
White people really be really talking like that this out I know being from Florida and Texas they really be talkin like that
This movie was pretty awful. Even at 90 minutes it felt pretty interminable being stuck with such thoroughly loathsome characters.
Christy doesn’t know that is how white women in central Florida talk. There is nothing offensive of how the white character talks, stop trying to make everything PC.
lol what are you talking about? the girl is literally supposed to be one of those white girls who use AAVE and try to fit in with black people and Black American culture but in a weird caricature stereotypical way that everyone usually finds cringey. Especially black people.
Which is why it’s pretty funny that she’s playing that role given the fact that she’s a descendant of Elvis. 😂
I’m black and have family in Florida. There is a region in Florida that has many white woman who come from a certain area in Florida who talk this way. I wasn’t offended and critics shouldn’t make us feel like we need to feel offended.
@@thesupreme950 they just living their life doggie. They don’t consciously/intentionally put on a performance to “sound black.” “Sounding black” is a just a side effect of coming up in a community where people talk like that and wanting to fit in so you do it too
@@thesupreme950 I've definitely known white women who have grown up in environments where AAVE is not an affectation. They grew up in these neighborhoods, been to these people's houses, dated these men. They are genuinely being themselves. I do think the movie is pointing a finger at the performative ness of some white people's behavior, but it's not a one size fit all type deal.
In the same way ppl used to say I "talked white" in grade school because I enunciated my words. It's all just weird categorization.
@@iansmart4158 The “talking white” comment people use isn’t comparable to this lol because that just simply isn’t a thing. People use that term when they don’t expect black people to know how to speak “King’s English”. But we know how to code switch the best lol.
And i don’t agree with most of what you’re saying about white ppl genuinely having real AAVE accents, but even if that is true, the point of this character is that she is faking and she is problematic and racist lol. She isn’t being genuine and she has a negative view of black ppl.
Listening to them bleat on about ‘cultural appropriation’ and ‘racial disparity’, as well as mocking the clearly autistic and emotionally damaged white guy as ‘a moron’, made me nauseous. The film literally has black guys bullying, controlling and exploiting women, as well as the poor white lad. Horrible woke take on a really good movie.
Why does Christie always want to hear the black critics inspected every time a movie like this is coming up
Because these movies are about Black people and minorities don’t historically get as much of a voice to state their opinions?
Some black people may have a different viewpoint because of their cultural background. For example, I was disturbed by the two main black male portrayals were in the movie, but had to catch myself, since of course there are black men who act like that. Shouldn’t be sensitive about it.
@@lexis4490 pretty much no one other than Zola comes out of this movie unscathed.
Virtue signalling
I know. It’s kind of weird the way she puts it. “I wanna hear what the black critics think. I want to read their review!” Like she’s eager to see them enraged by the movie or something.
