Dear White People - if possible a better trailer than the movie. Not awful, just trite and 'indy' to the point of twee. I realize that a narrative has to be compressed in a movie, but the conflicts just seemed manufactured and artificially heightened.
Wanted to like it more, but it came of as Spike Lee directing an after school special.
Or maybe I'm just out of touch and today's world truly is filled with oblivious white folk who are generally nice, yet OBSESSED with touching black hair without permission [seemingly 1/2 the movie].
Also, a little saddened that another movie asserting a 'thoughtful' take on contemporary race relations ramps up to another instance of 'fed-up' violence.
