Tyrel

It's a vibe. It's realistic. No there is no crazy ending but that's not the point. The racism in the movie is real life. It's uncomfortable but without the crazy ending. I liked it. I liked how it left me like "What the hell?"

One of those films that looked interesting by the plot but comes up short in the end. That being said, there are good performances by the lead Jason Mitchell, Christopher Abbott & the great Caleb Landry Jones of Get Out fame. Tyler his name in the film feels out of place by how a bunch of guys act when drunk and partying for ones birthday and some choice words taken out of context can come off creepy while others were in reality poor taste to some degree. Still, the other guys at the get together are not far right or even textbook republicans but a group of guys being guys and acting dumb while not over analyzing things, which are done today constantly. These guys are anti-Trump and essentially a bunch of white guys being guys in and only environment. No ill will is hanging around ourside of Tyler who just feels out of place. Mitchell sells this well. Anyone who is a guy knows things let loose when around each other. Comparing this to Get Out is a bit of a cop out even though Tyler feels like an outsider until he makes a fool of himself later on. I take away the decent to good performances but not much else. A better script would have helped but this is not a waste of time if you just take in the film in itself.

Tyrel's feeling of not belonging is cause by the already strong group of friends who does not seem to be willing to include him in their group but rather to strut around showing of with their inside jokes and shared memories. Obviously race place a big role and their egg walking trying not to be racist is even worse. Michael Cera man can you even act in any move where you don's just get to party with your buddies?

I waited and waited for something to happen. But all I did was waste time of my life. I would rather watch paint dry while being poked in my eye with a toothpick. Is it possible to give no stars? I'm saying no spoilers cause there is nothing to spoil unless you like garbage.

Tyrel is the only black male in a group of white birthday revellers in a secluded cabin. The movie shows Tyrel's uneasiness in being amongst this group, having probably never been exposed to such group before. As the movie unfolds, Tyrel got drunk and lost all inhibition and there we see the ugly side of someone not belonging in a group situation. Interesting look at the differences of culture, through music and substance abuse, ultimately showing that we are more alike than not.
