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.

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.

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

Spectrum Culture

A real groaner masquerading as some kind of fascinating woke thriller.

Rated: 1.5/5

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

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.

I've seen Sesame Street episodes and toothpaste commercials that were raunchier and more "out there" than this movie. NOTHING HAPPENED!

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

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.

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. 😂

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
