  The Day Shall Come 2019

  ★ Watched 11 Mar 2019

  I mean I understand the value in purposefully being provocative, but this was just completely problematic on so many levels. 

  The humor was completely predicated on race in a way which isn’t tasteful whatsoever. Anna Kendrick’s character is portrayed as a “victim” of the film despite causing the harm. It’s just reaching for a “woke” message which just ends up being the opposite. It felt very disengenuine and was very clearly a film about the struggles of being black written and directed by a White dude.

  A waste of funding, and a waste of anyone’s time viewing.
