Tyrel uses its seemingly innocuous setup to take an admirably uncomfortable -- albeit occasionally somewhat diffuse -- look at modern American race relations.

Even though Jason Mitchell is quite strong... [Tyrel] goes in no direction at all. September 12, 2019 | Full Review…

Tyrel is a lab experiment with no insight into feelings of otherness beyond the blinding light directed at its wigged-out subject. December 13, 2018 | Full Review…

Silva's most political work yet--though it is sly and subtle, the intention is palpable, the emotions elicited all too real, and ultimately, "Tyrel" proves to be a fascinating entry in his body of work. December 8, 2018 | Rating: 3.5/4

Silva makes a chamber orchestra of unconscious prejudice and passive-aggression out of his all-bro ensemble, with Mitchell's performance as the violin solo at the center of it that grows from a tentative tremolo to lonesome wail. December 7, 2018 | Full Review…

A tense social satire that speaks to its moment even if it ends with a fizzle instead of the cathartic gut-punch you're waiting for. December 6, 2018 | Rating: B | Full Review…

I've seen far worse movies this year, but I've not seen one that left me feeling as indifferent and bored as this one. December 5, 2018 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

Silva goes to great lengths to replicate the psychological horror people of colour are put through often by oblivious, even well meaning whites. April 28, 2019 | Rating: 4.5/5 | Full Review…

Tyrel works best as an examination of masculinity and race. It's fascinating and Silva is smart enough to let the camera just observe his subjects and let the audience make their own conclusions about what's unfolding on screen. April 6, 2019 | Full Review…

Tyrel breaks at the weight of its own ambition, feeling like an undergraduate exercise in tension. Sadly, even that tension is wasted. February 6, 2019 | Rating: 1.5/5 | Full Review…

Tyrel is a strange, uncomfortable, but poignantly accurate portrayal of subtle racism in America. Racists that think they are cool, but when folks starting burning portraits of Jesus and calling women 'black hoes" - you know it's time to bounce. February 6, 2019 | Rating: 6/10 | Full Review…

This quietly perceptive low-budget drama effectively tackles contemporary race relations with subtle ambiguity rather than raucous provocation. December 22, 2018 | Full Review…
