Audience Member I was very impressed with the movie, the cast did a pretty good job. I really dug the narrator's portion... Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/23/24 Full Review TiffyBeSoRandom M I read the description and was enamored by it. This could either be extremely ignorant or a child friendly way of educating kids about segregation. So I checked the ratings and to my surprise it had a high rating but no actual written reviews, which is really weird. I had never seen anything like it before. The acting wasn't the best but there were a few funny moments. The description, while it represents the dream of the main character, doesn't feel super overwhelming which is good since there are about two other mini subplots going on. For a PG movie I didn't expect it to be so explicit. Seemed more like a PG - 13 movie. It has the N- Word with the hard ER just so you know. I did truly love the pictures of Jesus constantly changing to represent what Michael is feeling. I think this movie did a great job at recreating a lot of the people I used to see when I went to church as a kid. Speaking of church despite seeing many scenes with pastors and people in church, pictures of Jesus it didn't feel preachy and didn't depict "sinners" as the devil however in the beginning it did depict them as bad people. Lastly I really liked the bond that Michael formed with another kid who happened to be white (while they obviously couldn't hang out as much) I did like what the movie was trying to say. You aren't born racist, you have to be taught. Both the little boy and his mom know that their father / husband wouldn't appreciate seeing white and black people in any type of relationship. The ending was a bit unbelievable but I still expected it from the very beginning. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/16/23 Full Review Audience Member I love this film. I've seen it twice. It's relevant, funny, subtle in the storytelling and very effective. I was on the edge of my seat not knowing if this seven year old boy was going to survive. Very very good film.
