Tag: Dear White People

Although this movie is a year old that still doesn’t mean I can’t review it! I can honestly say that Dear White People was one of the best movies I saw in 2014. It was definitely worth the money.

For those who haven’t seen it, Dear White People is a satirical comedy of the lives of several black students as they go through their daily lives on a predominantly white campus.

The films main character Sam White, a biracial black revolutionary who’s determined to save the college’s only black student housing. Lionel Higgins, a gay black sophomore who dreams of being a journalist but also endures harassment by his dorm mates. Colandera “CoCo” Jones, a girl who I can only describe as the opposite of Sam and Troy Fairbanks, a political science major who has secret dreams of being a comedian.

There was never a dull moment in this movie. All of the characters grab your attention, some you empathize with some you laugh with or at depending on the situation.

This movie also sheds a light on racial tensions between some black and white students at universities. This movie has and will continue to spark dialogues. All in all I give this movie a 10/10 if you haven’t seen it you’re missing out!
