Tyrel

What to Know

Critics Consensus

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

Peter Rainer FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) Even though Jason Mitchell is quite strong... [Tyrel] goes in no direction at all. Sep 12, 2019 Full Review Robert Abele Los Angeles Times Tyrel is a lab experiment with no insight into feelings of otherness beyond the blinding light directed at its wigged-out subject. Dec 13, 2018 Full Review Katie Walsh Tribune News Service 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. Rated: 3.5/4 Dec 8, 2018 Full Review Dominic Griffin Spectrum Culture A real groaner masquerading as some kind of fascinating woke thriller. Rated: 1.5/5 Jul 17, 2019 Full Review C.H. Newell Father Son Holy Gore Silva goes to great lengths to replicate the psychological horror people of colour are put through often by oblivious, even well meaning whites. Rated: 4.5/5 Apr 28, 2019 Full Review Maria Lattila Film Inquiry 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.

Thinker T I've seen Sesame Street episodes and toothpaste commercials that were raunchier and more "out there" than this movie. NOTHING HAPPENED! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/16/23 Full Review Audience Member I think I missed the point or intention of this movie 2.1 Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/14/21 Full Review Audience Member Tyrel, the title of this Jason Mitchell starring albeit Michael Cera rearing snoozer, is the most offensive part of the movie. Jason Mitchell plays Tyler the one long black guy on a bro filled weekend retreat and really doesn't do anything but get drunk and sad. There is no big moment or conclusion besides Michael Cera ended racism by wearing a durag. Lame Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/16/23 Full Review Audience Member This was not just a movie, this is insight. It's realistic, it's educational, and it's intense. There was a lot of passion put into this film. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie absolutely sucked ass if you think of watching it don't waste 1 hour and 30 minutes of your life. I'm not joking, nothing happened the only reason we kept watching is because we were waiting for something to happen. there is no storyline I'm not even joking nothing happens at all. 😂 Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/25/23 Full Review Audience Member This has to be the least interesting movie I have ever seen in my life. There's no action, there's no problem, the whole time I watched this movie I was waiting for something to go wrong or something, anything, at type of action, betrayal, fighting, arguing, etc. This movie is about nothing Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Read all reviews
