Murtada Elfadl Variety Know Your Place stumbles when trying to encompass too much story and doesn’t always give its smaller characters the level of nuance it affords the leads. Despite that, it remains alluring and does not lose audience investment in its characters. Aug 17, 2024 Full Review Stephen Saito Moveable Fest At times, there could be more focus in scenes tied directly to the plot to eliminate overstating a point, but it’s a small price to pay for what the film captures in its unforced natural rhythm... Jun 22, 2022 Full Review Charles Mudede The Stranger (Seattle, WA) This kind of city has less and less space for the working classes. Two: the city that's losing its color. Black Americans were the first to go. Now it's black Africans. Next will be East Asian Americans. Know Your Place takes place in the now. Apr 18, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews
