Critics Consensus

Led by a breakout turn from Amandla Stenberg, the hard-hitting The Hate U Give emphatically proves the YA genre has room for much more than magic and romance.

The film doesn't shy away from addressing uncomfortable truths or presenting difficult conversations, instead opting for a candid and unflinching portrayal of the harsh realities faced by marginalized communities.

The Hate U Give directly addresses the issues faced by the black community. It depicts problems in a way that makes them understandable and shows the immense consequences of racism. Tillmann Jr. Found the perfect balance of drama and realism. The pictures are dramatic but not overly dramatic. They convey the magnitude and urgency of the problems without loosing a feeling for reality. Especially if you do not have many contact points with the topic of racism in this form, it makes you aware of how bad consequences can turn out. This movie let's it's viewers think about it more than twice. For me personally, this movie and the basic idea has stuck with me since I have seen it the first time. Even after watching it for many times, I believe it does an excellent job of depicting the social gap between black and white communities in the United States of America and gives an example of racism nobody should feel positive about. I hope this movie let's many people overthink their daily behaviour and helps us as a society grow together a little bit.

The Hate U Give isnt always an easy pill to swallow by design: Tillman and Wells want to start a conversation. They succeed in their intentions, creating one of the best films of the past decade, and a showcase for Stenberg.
