As enjoyable and refreshing as it is, there's a certain bite lacking in the delivery. Jul 10, 2015 | Rating: 3/5

Here's a film that refreshingly acknowledges various elephants in cinema's crowded living room: racism, the interracial sex taboo and class war. Jul 9, 2015 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

There's a lot in this prickly, snappily written feature debut that's as invigorating as early Spike Lee. Jul 9, 2015 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

The best moments get to the heart of Simien's thesis that what is supposed to be post-racial America isn't all that much different from what came before. Jan 5, 2015 | Rating: 3/5

Dear White People deploys a full arsenal of intellectual weaponry to talk about race and much more in a way most can't or won't. It is hilarious. It is brilliant. It is vital. And it's Simien's first outing. More please. Jul 30, 2019 | Rating: A | Full Review…

Behind those three big, inciting words is a film that's as comedic as it is confrontational and as universal as it is intimate, a new-school satire about black identity that's more inclusive than exclusive. Mar 22, 2019 | Rating: 8/10 | Full Review…
