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 (LAist) 09/12/2019
Even though Jason Mitchell is quite strong... [Tyrel] goes in no direction at all. Go to Full Review
Robert Abele Los Angeles Times 12/13/2018
Tyrel is a lab experiment with no insight into feelings of otherness beyond the blinding light directed at its wigged-out subject. Go to Full Review
Katie Walsh Tribune News Service 12/08/2018
3.5/4
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. Go to Full Review
Dominic Griffin Spectrum Culture 07/17/2019
1.5/5
A real groaner masquerading as some kind of fascinating woke thriller. Go to Full Review

4.5/5
Silva goes to great lengths to replicate the psychological horror people of colour are put through often by oblivious, even well meaning whites. Go to Full Review
Maria Lattila Film Inquiry 04/06/2019
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. Go to Full Review

01/14/2021 I think I missed the point or intention of this movie 2.1 See more 09/04/2020 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 See more 06/23/2020 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. See more 04/18/2020 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. 😂 See more 04/13/2020 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 See more 02/04/2020 Zero substance, anti-climatic. Michael Cera should be ashamed of himself. Imagine a huge sausage fest spending the weekend at a cabin drinking, so bad I can't even loosely refer to it as "partying". Just imagine if a caucasian spent a weekend in the neighborhood project, let's just say it the FCC would not allow it to be made into a movie. See more Read all reviews
