- It's 3am on a rainy night in South Florida, and mother Kendra Ellis-Connor (Kerry Washington) paces anxiously in a police station waiting room as she tries to piece together what may have happened to her missing son. Faced with a series of infuriating unanswered questions, she navigates a system of unconscious bias, interweaving perspectives, and a tense marital dynamic with her ex-husband (Steven Pasquale) as they try to uncover the truth about their son's whereabouts. Based on the acclaimed Broadway play, and also featuring reprised roles by Jeremy Jordan and Eugene Lee, AMERICAN SON is an emotional depiction of modern day race dynamics and systemic tensions.

Kerry Washington | American Son | Official Trailer | Netflix
/ netflix
Time passes and tension mounts in a Florida police station as an estranged interracial couple awaits news of their missing teenage son.
"Now where's our son" had me on the floor...
Duuuuuude I wasn't ready
Right🥺
The cop wasn't ready either! His face behind HIS mask😱
I like that part
I know. This wouldn't have even been shocking in the 1950's lol.
My parents when I dont respond to a text in five minutes
Lol my parents are like that with me and im 32 with a teenager of my own.... its me too with my son not gonna lie ... appreciate it, trust me its only because they love you 😙..(sorry to sound like an old lady lol)
Haha, my son is a baby but I just know this will be me in the future.
@kj no, am I know that means I'm safer in America but even still my parents are controlling
🤣🤣🤣
Exactly!!! I tell me daughters that all the time. We just want to know that you all are safe is all.
I think this movie just broke a record for the smallest cast ever
I Am Legend- Will Smith
Baby Doll I am legend still had more people. More people at the end of the movie opened up the gate.
The story behind is what matters i think
Ryan Reynolds in Buried
Nah, that was, "Fences" with Denzel and Viola!
Olivia Pope would have handled that.
😆 so true!!!
Diya Bundhoo haha 😆 she really would have!!
FACTS !
Loll
😂
Heck, even I wanna know where he is now!
I have to know!!!
Lol!
He's dead.... I mean.......yeah......he's dead....
Lol me too
😂😂😂
It’s INSANE to see Jeremy Jordan as anything other than the sweet soul he is. His acting chops are truly incredible
Holy moly. Thank you for this post. I stink with names, but that name jumped out at me cause of his acting chops
I'm a huge newsies kinda guy. So I watched the broadway version when netflix dropped it. And I started the first song sort of irritated like "thata not jack kelly!!" .... and before the song was finished. Jeremy Jordan was the real jack Kelly. What a stud of an actor!
Thanks again for throwing out his name. Now I'm even more pumped for this :))
I know right from joyful Noise to this he’s just amazing
He is not a good actor
@@tarathelen9844 he was horrible in that movie
@@anthonyjackson4023 thats like... your opinion man... lol everyone else think hes decent
He saw a white face and was like relief ha
Plot twist, white face is the daddy to the missing kid 🤣🤣🤣
Lol loved that twist
@@ohshititsnay3882 he is....
😂
@Anthony Joseph never do what exactly?
“Where’s our son?” The look on his face. I’ve seen that look so many times in my life.
what does that look mean?
what does that look mean?
I can help you make a son
They're looking at you like that because you're ugly. Not because you're black.
@@soygoy9476 she never said her you dumb son of a bitch lol
This film deserves SO many awards. It can't be easy to make a film shot in one setting this captivating, intriguing, heart breaking...i was literally sobbing at the end. So terribly heart wrenching. And incredible that only a few actors and one room could make such an incredible film.
God damn this mf Kerry can act...this woman is underrated
Raj Williams oh yeah can’t wait either
💯💯💯
Yes she can! She definitely makes you feel what she is saying. She does it so eloquently but still you can the fierceness of the black woman. Taraji p Henson, Gabrielle Union wade, couldn’t pull it off like she did to me 🤔
meh, she acts like olivia pope
@@SoleilMagica sometimes when you want to say shit you can make your own comment
This movie was so sad especially with the recent George floyd incident and by the end I was really crying because the last line in the move was “I can’t breath” which was what George said before he was strangled to death by an officer
Lisa- I have been reading many comments and most of them laughing and making fun of strict parents... i don’t see many comments acknowledging the death of a young man or maybe they haven’t seen the movie ..I was also moved to tears.Very powerful movie ..
Having Cuban parents I know about having super annoying obsessively over protective parents especially with a daughter but we are white so I couldn’t even begin to pretend to know what it’s like to be afraid of the cops.. that was never my parents worry..
This movie was exceptionally profound and shows the complex situation with a white father and a black cop that tells the mother she needs to teach her son how to be a black man in America and of course the father doesn’t understand cuz he couldn’t even begin to understand what that would be like cuz even if he grew up in the 80s like I did where people had crazy hair, wore makeup and dressed like the walking dead they wouldn’t experience anything like this..
I had a friend in the 80s who was stopped by the cops coming out of a club dressed in full crazy punk rock attire and the cops found weed in the car.. The only thing that happened to them was they had to dump the weed out into the street and no handcuffs, no ticket or anything, the cop let them go..The next day my friend calls me and tells me: let’s go look for the weed we had to dump.. We were kids and did stupid things like any kid that age no matter what color u are.. Like I said I couldn’t even begin understand..
Watching the tape of the George Floyd murder, I was in tears watching that man plead for his life, calling for his mother and watching him die in such a horrific way .The evil in that cops eyes!! My God! How horrible!. it was a huge eye opener to those of us who would never experience such a thing because we just happen to be of a different shade.. Breaks my heart... In every level it breaks my heart, for the black man that is profiled and mistreated and for the good cops that are out there actually serving the community.. There are some good ones out there and now they must feel like everyone looks at them like murderers with a badge ..
A lot of praying is what I have been doing 🙏 God help us
I just finished watching the movie and was almost speechless.. When i heard the words I cant breathe. Definitely can relate to what has occurred around the world right now.
@@ameliadelcastillo5424 I think Adrian Schoolcraft is the last good cop, considering what happened to him because of his actions.
I just finished watching this movie and I didn't cry but I did cried after watching the Fruitvale Station movie. Its because I passed by that station for 3 months and didn't know.
So you still think it's not pkanned
Another criminal
This movie is so relevant! When she started going down the list of things many races of teens are taught, that other teens do not have to worry about, I sobbed! “ Hands on the wheel, Eyes forward…..” So many parts of this movie make me cry! This world is not fair!
So horrible….. I so wished he survived. The hate for injustice and fear of others who don’t see you as relevant are real.
"She went from 0 to ghetto" 😑😑😑😑😑😑
Yeah, Im good. Once again profiting off of black folks misery that was stowed upon us from this racist ass country.
baybeetricia and that’s where it took a turn for me. There’s no pleasing these people
BA BA - Just keeping it real with the problems black people have in real life. Nothing wrong with showing that through media.
@@BABA-is8kv You know this is a play adaptation, right?
@@keijijohnson9754 absolutely!!!
Shine a spotlight on that!
Let people who are ignorant of this treatment of us, see that truth reflected in movies and tv shows!
Art reflects life!
Show everyone our lives
The ending left me enraged while also sobbing. If you’re looking for a movie with closure, this is not it. 💔
Juffrrio right 😢😢 but good message
Juffrrio yeah there’s probably a reason to that considering a lot of black mothers don’t get closure
i mean theres closure, just not the closure we hoped for :C
Same here this is madness.. I'm so full of anger right now and have alot of unanswered questions
@Niki Young Calm down you say ..I'm unable to..it may just be a movie but the circumstances and the issues are very much real!!
She was a professor in this movie that taught psychology, so her demeanor and pronunciation of words were eloquent in delivery. She didn't become seriously angry until she noticed the fuckery and the procrastination
RICHARD STREET ~ I love how she called her husband out for his use of bad English. LOL
@@prairieprincess4155 She was on one...lol
Her acting was phenomenal,I hope she gets recognized for this role with an Oscar nomination
A mother, an fbi and a police officer in a police station arguing for 90 minutes about race... pretty much sums it up.
It shows that even tho he married and was having sex with her they had NOTHING IN COMMON! He thought the same way as the other white officer, didn't matter if it was his biological child or not. Which shows that the color of his skin did matter! If that child had got pulled over with white kids, he would have been furious. Makes matters worse, if his son was his complexion he would have came in there irate! They will marry us, have kids with us, party with us BUT WILL NEVER LOOK AT US AS EQUALS!
Yea could not watch more than 10 mins. Too much overacting, overly emotional responses on a very sensitive subject. In my opinion it portrayed white men as racists and stereotypical and black women as angry, aggressive and irrational.
Daddy Mack I said the same. I turned it off, they stayed in the same room, didn’t even get to see the son at all.
@@MostBeautifullest I eventually finished it, because I sat around the TV playing with my 4 month old daughter, the last part got very emotional and sad. I must say- the message and theme is an ever present reality in the US, overall it was a good plot. Still would have loved for the scene to at least change once or twice, but that's just me haha
I think the setting of the movie is like this because it’s based on a Theatre production. So they were trying to keep the aesthetics of the theatre in the movie.
The ending 😞 when he said he couldn’t breathe omg. Even if it isn’t real the stuff happens all the time to people it just goes unnoticed.
I cry so hard at that end, remember she said when they were put him cuffs that he had a heart problem. I don't understand how anyone can dislike this movie. Deserves an Oscar.
Wolfie Gamer i cried
Yea.. when they were arresting him, the wife said he had a murmur..... sad ending
😢😢😢
@@BAdrianne91 I speak for all when I say Joker deserves an oscar
Why do I get the feeling that officer knows exactly where their son is, I'm guessing he hadn't carefully orchestrated false evidence against him yet..
True,, but now I think that the dad had something to do with his son missing, but hey u might never know!!! Ima check this out,
MAN-MAN it’s actually none of that the ending will surprise you btw the father really did ride for his son
yup 98% in the police station and 2% flashbacks
@@jaidynlaventure1019 It's a nice looking Police station though.
He’s dead
This movie is actually really in the middle politically, it gets all sides perspective definitely worth the watch
This is the same feeling I had when watching it
I hated this movie she ALWAYS brought up race so she can win the argument.
ermm bruh it is all about perspective. She has her experiances to reflect on to. What had happened at the end shows her experiance were right.
@@RONALDII0 The thing is that the movie never specified one side over another. It always showed it from both sides, from all perspectives, and was rarely biased. To hate the whole movie because of the perspective of one character doesn't make sense.
No it didnt...the whole movie was to try and make law enforcement look bad.
*street name? Gold teeth? I’m heated and I can’t wait to watch lol*
Update I didn’t like the movie that much . Kerry was holding this movie up
😂😂
@Living Well With TJ You do know it actually isn't common to have a street name or gold teeth right?
Dutch Bitch I AGREE!! Didnt Enjoy It At All
The movie was getting me tight that white cop was getting me heated fr
Shit made me cry cause that’s the main shit that’s happening right now
I just watched this and wish I hadn't. As a mother of a 6'3 tall 180 lb 19 year old son this terrifies me. I'm thankful he doesn't hang out with anyone but his girlfriend. But I've got 2 more boys to raise and it's a never ending scare. This movie broke my heart at the end and I literally cried.
I feel so sorry for you
Hope and pray just tell your son to try to be respectful with police even though that isn't enough sometimes
There's only one thing for you to do: educate yourself and your kids. Don't be like this woman (which represents kinda the average black mother who came from the ghetto). No matter WHAT always respect the police, there is a lot of ways to speak up. People shouldn't generalize race as "whites are bad with blacks" 'cause just as the movie: it was a black cop who shot the kiddo.... and as the officer said "There's no american dream for us" (as a brown woman). Take care.
@@yomera2249 what about the black woman character indicated she came from the ghetto? please tell me you don't know how black people really act when angry this was the nice version of an angry black person
@@yomera2249 you shouldn’t respect police. they are WILLINGLY part of an institutionalized system that is built on racism. unless you have to show you respect police for your survival, you shouldn’t respect them. but you do you
This movie was so intense, the ending really affected me it nearly made me sick. Brilliant acting! this film captures reality, I believe many will not be able to understand nor internalise it.
Agree, you can see by the comments how many are not getting the point of the movie
Literally, they are so focused on the wrong things and not the actual message
Same! It's infuriating that people don't get the real point of this movie and that it's in the middle.
But what does the son dying mean? What does it symbolize?
It saddens me that some people can't see the message behind the movie/play. This movie/play expresses racism largely and shows the injustice in the justice system because of the colour of one skin
It’s so hard being black May God protect my boys
Living Well With TJ well he might be imaginary to you but to me he is my rock so back off. Also I don’t think any parent can protect their child 100% because no matter how hard you try you can’t be with your kids all the time. Do not ever comment about my faith again
@Living Well With TJ You need to stop commenting on people's comment if you have nothing good to say
@Living Well With TJ well aren't you a fuckin ray of pitch black.
@Living Well With TJ If by any chance, there would be the possibility that God exists (one out of billions) I would be careful that this tiny possibility would be true and I would be sent to hell. Your choice though. So, let the rest make theirs.
Living Well With TJ you should mind your own business and keep your damn opinion to yourself. You might not believe but others do including myself.
Kerry Washington has been missed. Can't wait to see this.
It’s shit
She should've stood missed. Her acting is garbage, as always.
Should have gotten another gig, she was wasted on this garbage
Lol bet u don't miss her any more
Best acting I've seen in a long time. This is 2024. Dope script!
I saw Kerry talking about the play and she described it as "a roller coaster" and I couldn't have said it better! Please watch this and then have a conversation after, this invoked so many emotions and dare I say it was a play on words because it's bringing to light something a lot of people don't talk about. Let's change this and be a better brother a better sister a better son a better daughter a better mother a better father or a better mentor... Come on guys we've got this!
@hyeboi I agree on the not great performances, the movie speaks truth though. At least to me, it got me thinking and reflecting a lot on such a sensitive topic.
This had me crying at the end omgggg like whattt!😢😢😢😢
Me too. This was so hard to watch at the end.
Omg me 2 I was crying so hard such a good movie
Me too mahn 😭😭😭
Cried so much😭
Me too
"Now where's our son?" He was shook. I was shook. We were all shook.
@diamond The police officer bad mouths Kerry Washington's character to the man who had walked in without asking him who he was or why he was there, just assuming he was a colleague who would empathize with his frustrations. He looks shocked because he realized he bad mouthed to her husband of all people.
@@evee1299 lol that was so dumb. You can tell this idea should have stayed as a stage play
@@evee1299 well ex but yeah.
Simple sets, beautiful lighting and Kerry Washington = me crying immensely.
Awsamazing Eden Exactly
I finish watching it 😢 so sad
That cop triggered me so bad. That whole fountain scene. What a POS.
It literally an emotional movie dealing with real life problems.
real life problems in the U.S..thank God we are spared from this constant black/ white brain in Europe.
@4 UR HEAD I know...lived there yrs ago...and it was tyring to hear.
4 UR HEAD this ain’t rare, are you mad? This happened a lot dude
I saw it live on Broadway in NY and am excited for the world to experience it!
People who've already seen it says it sucks. I hope not, I'm so excited.
Ryse Ross what??? i heard nothing but rave reviews, and i saw it and i think it was amazing!
hello is it me youre looking for Same. Don’t watch it
NY broadway makes everything look exciting though.
I just watched the ending and I’m sobbing..I-
Girl same. At 1st I thought she was overdoing the race card but she had all right. I could relate cause I have a brother that I love so much and everytime he's not in the same city with me I pray for God's protection on me and I live in Canada not the state. It sad that our black boys have to live in fear.
Tish TTXS I was hoping he’d be alive. I literally screamed “No!”. I thought the acting in this movie was great, i dont really understand why people don’t like it
My gut instinct told me to turn it off the whole time cause i knew this was gonna happen. I wish i went with my gut.
The ending was dumb
I knew kit the whole time but what kind of ending was that
The play was excellent and so is this! If you ever need a glimpse into what it's like being fearful in a situation like this, it's right here. Some will never understand but many will.
I just saw this last night. I'm surprised by the bad reviews and commentary. What I got out of this was the many facets of race relations in this country and in particular about this situation. The movie purposefully plays out stereotypes, commentary, speeches, emotive moments and the raw honesty of fear mothers and fathers can feel albeit differently about their children. It embraces "ghetto" and "going ghetto" in both lifestyle and action as both activities and stereotypes. It is in a way a Kurosawa approach to film, like Rashomon showing various reactions to the same event. You don't have to be "woke" to get this film, you can take it at the emotive level, the social level, or as they say in the film, as a teachable moment. Best film I've seen in a very long time.
Finaly someone that gets it!!!! So frustrating that so many people don't get it!
Why was I thinking through half the movie “where is this fool with this mans coffee?! It’s been over 30 mins! He said no sugar, no cream just black! And 35 mins later shows up with the mans coffee only to get a refill that took another 30 mins?!” Like come on fam!!!
Frrr like I dun forgot abt his damn coffee
😂😂
This looks really good but I hope the ending isn't anticlimactic.
this is originally a Broadway play, so, if anyone has seen that, this will be that more or less. think this is the original cast also.
@@zach6844 Really? Thanks for the info
its doesnt seem like its suppose to have a major climax but it looks super good despite that
Or too Trayvon-esque!!
Belive the ending had me shook idk what to do now honestly
This movie man really touched home. I am biracial black and white. My son is black white and Mexican. When he gets back from his fathers house we will have this talk. It’s unfortunate but it is raw.
Such a great movie some need to wake up and realize this truly happens everyday
You literally feel the building horror of both parents not getting any real answers as to where their son is. The ending hit REAL hard in this one.
Just a beautiful and heartbreaking show of such a gut-wrenching topic. And with such cast and directing, I already know it’s amazing.
@Rich LVL 30 World of Warcraft What kinda sentence was that? Wtf 😅 now try again in proper English.
@Rich LVL 30 World of Warcraft You reported your own racism... Well done :)
It was indeed!
@Mj light well everyone has the right to there opinion
Mj light Is that it? Worked up over nothing you can empathise? Except empathise with thy white man
Just watched it. I wanted to see Jamal, he is tall with green eyes ...
The best play I’ve ever watched turned into a movie. I felt rage and sadness but this needs to be known. Kerry Washington did that!
“I don’t know what you expect me to do”.... protect and serve!
As a mother to a mixed child I felt this to my core.
Gabrielle Mcfadden I did too!!!
Saw this on Broadway and... Was Blown Away!!!! Incredibly powerful and deeply moving!!! So many layers. I was overwhelmed with emotion. Glad it’s coming to Netflix!
The detective literally spoke real facts in this movie.
Lupe Nunez not even... you don’t get it lol
@@anthonydelgado2143 the black Detective was the only one with any common sense. Everyone else was an idiot looking to argue about everything.
“What’s your son street name” Yeah totally factual Dimwit
Just this trailer alone, damn near got my blood boiling and gut-wrenched.
TwoSpiritEmpathic Starseed it’s not good to let your emotions manipulate you . Always think with a cold mind
Maybe watch the movie and youll see even the black officer says its mostly black mens own fault.
Try watching it and think about why the characters are likeable, you'll find no reason for any of them lol
As a black man, i'm tired of seeing Hollywood and black actors gunning for cliche racist stories. Stop profiting from our demises. There are already a million movies on this, you are not adding anything to the collection besides profits. I cringed when she started saying "keep your hands on the wheel"
That one line from zero to ghetto is the only new thing this movie added, a catchphrase
@@samuelerua6633 No, that's rather trite too.. I've heard them use that phrase "zero to ghetto" before..
Preach brother.
This is not even close the real issue. Just trying to get and audience. Which will be based on the race of the characters.
Actually the movie was in the middle and showed both sides, at the end she got in a discussion with the black officer, the movie shows both sides.
By reading so many comments, I can sense how a lot of people are not familiar with the art of films and how Netflix has to understand that its audience are not able to understand or internalize movies like this one. Their audience are more for "The kissing Booth" kind of movies. Not this piece of film art. They don't even get it
What’s artistic about this film? It’s heavy handed and panders to people of a certain political persuasion. The white characters are caricatures and the dialogue is cringe inducing. The movie crushes itself under the weight of its own self importance.
Summers Journey I agree with him, btw I’m Latino so don’t even start with calling me a white racist.
Netflix!!! I wasn’t ready!!! I JUST recovered from When They See Us. Here we go again. Trailer got me tearing up already!😭
So if she had all these bad feelings about racism...why marry a white man and then have a child?
That black officer was truthful...
Sad movie
Venie Covington yes the black officers was good. And yes why marry a white cop if you have antagonistic feelings towards them
When he snapped back with that " probably shoudn't call me an uncle Tom as as I am about to arrest your husband" 🔥🔥🔥 I think she(Kenny) loved her husband and he loved her. But she grew up in a society where being black means having to be untreated fairly and her husband represented that for her because he is white. I think that is why they were having so much problems. But very riveting. To think her and her husband could of worked it out if she let go of her own prejudices
I guess sometimes love has a way of blinding us.
Girl I said the same shit
Whether she married a white male or black male she still would have had the same feelings about racism and her son. She shouldnt have had a child at all based on what you said.
The end tho .. I was floored 😞
This is why I'm never leaving Netflix
@Frank because they tell great stories you weird ass racist
by the way shut up Frank
Will 😩😂😂
Frank You need some serious help boy.. that comment was just so weird and not needed lol
"She went from zero to ghetto...." SHOTS FIRED!! I was waiting for O. Pope to appear!
I’m getting all these Olivia Pope vibes! 🙂
Joseph Fields Her son joined B613.
JoMoe G. She is strong and quick! 🙂 Olivia is strong and quick but she was also broken.
colornine84 😂😂😂😂😂 right though!
It’s weird seeing Jeremy like this, he dated Keke Palmer on Joyful Noice
Was that him? Jesus, he looks mighty different!!!
I figured he looked familiar lmao
Thanks a lot, I was really struggling to remember where I saw him before😍
This movie hit different when youve been in an interracial relationship before AND youre a Black woman. This movie needed to be made.
Jeremy Jordan is my favorite character from this movie! He was mostly chill this entire movie.
Should say based on MANY true stories in America.
If Liam Neeson is the dad then the story will be different 🤷🏻♂️ just sayin'
The same Liam Neeson that publicly said he wanted to go to the streets and hunt down any black person he sees on the streets, no thanks.
@@meridaohara6453 you know that was a long time ago right? And he didn't, he realised he was being an idiot and it was a life lesson for himself. He told people this because he knew he wasn't that person anymore. If you can't see that then you're an idiot.
@@LouSassol69er exactly, people don't realize the whole point of him coming out and explaining that. Flew over their heads
Saw the play in person. It was powerful af. Stripped down, bare stage set. This movie version doesn't capture the anguish nearly as well as the play did. I still get chills hearing Kerry Washington's screams and cries on that stage. But glad there is a movie version to share with the rest of the world.
A part of me is like yes omg I need to watch this! And the other part is like I shouldnt watch this because their kid is probably dead and I don't want to spend my weekend depressed lol.
You're so right! Heartwrenching!
I watched it. Now I'm spending my weekend depressed. Wish I had seen this comment first.
@@bellecouer2999 yep me too. So heartbreaking
I'll be depressed for you... 😔
This is why TMH told us not to mix our seed.This was a great representation of why NOT to mix!
This woman gives me chills
Being a parent in the world, is definitely a hard job 😤
People can chose not to breed?
I was so into this movie until I realized that the whole movie was in that one room and I haven’t even seen the boy face like it was okay but i wouldn’t really be in a rush to watch it in my OPINION
The point of the movie is to have the parent point of view. We never see the son but go thru what’s it like wondering where your child is and realizing they dead by the hands of the law.
Exactly. It's hard for me to connect with a boy who is never seen or heard.
I loved this movie!!! Great acting, different perspectives, thought riveting, just all around awesome!! I loved that the arguments weren't one sided.
I've watched this 2 times already and I can't stop thinking about it. That ending had me SHOOK
Me too, so sad and heartbreaking
Painful!
Emma Schuyler it s hard to watched for 2times...i am a single mom with 2children and every day my heart is next to them and always i expect to receive good news from them .it is hard to be a mom❤️
I'm glad I was sitting for the end because my body went numb. I was not expecting that ending, I thought for sure he was in jail. I yelled out in shock, WTF! I felt sick in my stomach that they had them waiting all that time to tell them what happened to their son. I cried at the end.
Felicia Taylor i cried too...i put myself in her place...it s too hard ti undestand this pain
When I finished I sent voice notes to all of my friends crying
this was such a powerful movie, I cried so much at the end, Kerrys performance was amazing. I only wished it went beyond that one room but other then that, It was amazing.
This movie dragged for so long I skipped to the last part to find out what happened to Jamal I became impatient
Carol Pena it drug because it spoke about important topics
I did that to haha.
Carol Pena I did too.. they should have showed what really happened when lieutenant was giving the statement so it could be more relatable.
* Shoots unarmed black man minding his own business *
Police Officer: I WaS ScArEd FoR mY LiFe 🤪
Well not really. More like idiot decides to become friends with a bunch of criminals with warrants. And decide to let them drive his expensive car. And then the guy randomly jumps out of the car to surprise the cop. Everyone knows it's not a good idea to make sudden movements. Especially when the cop is aware that the driver is a criminal.
@@alexandercrush "drops mic"
@@alexandercrush that part was fkn stupid, no one would do that in real life. No matter what color
Hvyarms44 it happened like 2 weeks ago though
I’m still kicking myself for not catching this on Broadway.
This movie really really messed me up. As a mixed black and white individual, my heart ached while watching this. It’s crazy.
What a heartbreaking movie... 😭😭😭😭.. Just finished watching it no Netflix 💔💔💔💔. The last part got me tearing up 😭😭😭😭😭😢😢😢😢😭😭😭
The last scene is so heartbreaking Kerry is an excellent actress. She really tapped into a mother losing their child that cry she gave was not acting that shit was too real with emotions
The saddest film I’ve ever watched. And the saddest thing is this is our reality. 😢
I watch the movie and when I heard that jahmaal was shot in the head i cried 😢
Thanks!!
I dont ever comment on youtube.
I just watched the whole thing.
If not the best, definitely one of the best things I have ever seen.
Dimitris Dimos yeah me too
I saw Kerry Washington in the movie...
Me watching: yes
so much hate in these comments, guys, maybe you should WATCH IT BEFORE JUDGING. this show was amazing on broadway and i hope you can all open your hearts to some of the truths of our nation and this amazing play
You're asking way to much of people
It's the message it's not unsolicited hate this is based on false information about black and police relations it's not only black people who are affected by shit police and it has nothing to do with "racism" against blacks
Starman it is known facts that cops handle situations with people of color differently if your pretending they do not then it’s clear you are part of the problem don’t even bother replying because there are numerous videos here on this platform that show that
If your ignorant to something simply research
"hands on the wheel, look straight forward and make no sudden moves"
"The conversation" some people will never understand.

I remember once being pulled over and I started adjusting my seat while he was walking away. I noticed in the rear view mirror that he quickly lunged for his gun. Luckly nothing happened because I quickly realized the situation and put my hands on the wheel. But it's crazy how a small misunderstanding can escalate.
They are garbage how can American police be so bitch ,
@Trudyann Downer it's just sad but God's got us
How was Jeremy Jordan not listed in the trailer. There are only 3 people in the entire movie and he's the only one not mentioned!?!?! He's amazing! Outrage 😂😫
He's at his girlfriend's house.

Actors are lucky Netflix hires them. It’s really jawbreaking how Netflix has taken the mantel of all of the networks combined.
This movie got me scared for my life as a black. At the end the pain of losing a family member in such hit so hard..I cried
Moral of the story, don't hang out with criminals.
how would you know they criminals, moral is cops as long as u black will pull you over
@@ChichiRakhudu No, moral of the story is if you have a warrant out for your arrest they will pull you over. You guys are obsessed with thinking you're the only ones getting in trouble because you're black it's really getting old. You get in trouble more because you commit more crimes. Drive through a nice peaceful white neighborhood and then drive through a ghetto. Are you honestly going to sit there and tell me you think there needs to be more policing in the white neighborhood because there's more crime going on? You can't be that stupid.
@@ChichiRakhudu cop who pulled them over was black
Amen
For those that couldn't get through it. Congrats you have a short attention span and your brain cant fathom the thought of gettinf through a conversation that doesnt invole b.s.
No,the storyline and acting is ass
This was a good movie it’s very emotional and important to watch...
Nah not really
FishFingerConnoisseur maybe not for a child like you...
David Hardcore shut up
Oh God, I just watched it. So heartbreaking and painful! My gut hurts.
They should’ve had Taraji P Henson play as the mom
Yes
Mygod it wud’ve been fireworks 💥
No they shouldn’t have. They got who they wanted to play the part and she did great.
no, this woman plays the role perfectly. you dont know what you are talking about
john boer welp it was my opinion & honestly the movie wasn’t even that good
Crazy that half of you commenting think this is just entertainment when it’s many of our realities.
Its so hard to even watch the trailer. Thank you for what I can already see will be an incredible movie. Thank you for continuing this conversation and further supporting our fight for change. Well done Kerri.
This is an amazing movie. No gimmicks no nothing just lines and phenomenonal acting
The ending of this movie brought me to tears
Same I just can't stop thinking about it

It looks “FENCES” literally a movies that looks like a play.
Anfmethodjor yeah, it’ll be like Fences for sure
Very emotional movie the ones saying they not gonna watch it they not black and don’t understand great movie relatable 💯💯💯💯💯💯
This looks draining.
It was. Its basically 90 minutes of screaming, arguing and crying. Not a single character is likeable. They bring up valid points where race issues are concerned but none of it feels earned, its all forced and highly exaggerated.
