I seriously enjoyed this film with the family!

I love the fact that it's low-key and a shout-out to Detroit.

I liked that they didn't shy away from the conversation of racism, nor the terrible thoughts or acts that could happen because of prejudice.

I liked that the characters were flawed but willing to give change a try.

This film made me think and it made me laugh out loud.

The concepts weren't original, but there were some interesting twists, considering that it was ultimately about black and white people breaking through the ignorance and awkwardness, learning to listen, take accountability and ultimately heal together.

I kinda got a "Tuesday's With Morrie" type of vibe, if you could imagine that story as if were centered around race relations in Detroit.

Would I have been able to forgive ol' Dom and if so, how quickly? I can't say, but I might have been able to put some things aside, at least temporarily, had I seen him on his journey to learning how to "belong" in black spaces. Especially if he was working on deep, personal relationships.

There's room for learning from his mistakes.

Great Film!
