Overall: 7.6

A unique and punchy satire that is well written, with snappy dialogue, and packs a big comedic punch. What pleasantly surprises you is the amount of heart, touching realism, and relationship drama that exists throughout. The film does a great job at building its characters while also keeping the satire at its core moving at a very fun and quick/effortless pace. The movie challenges you to think while you laugh and the lead actors (lead by Jeffrey Wright) are all fantastic. The originality and ability to execute it with warmth and humor while also presenting material with unanswered questions makes the experience unique and thought provoking, wanting to revisit its themes in your mind and in conversation well after the ending credits. This movie will be a fun revisit and looking forward to more work from Cord Jefferson in the future.
