Dear White People

Another "satire". This one tries to address racism and stereotypes within an ivy league school, and in society in general. I've read reviews that say it's clever, insightful, boundary-pushing, and raw. None of the above. It was a stinker. There was no message. It was an empty egg. A movie filled with empty cliches and characters is just irritating to watch; one dumb stereotype after another, with one cliched character after another all the while trying to pawn itself off as satirical. It's a sprinkler: throw cliches in as many directions as possible and you will eventually make a political statement. Let's be clear: this is a piece of garbage, which would be fine, except that the title suggests a political/social message to whites, but really there were messages, if you want to call cliches messages, for every race, gender, sexuality, etc, so I have to conclude that the title is there for shock value, to get people talking about it, which makes the emptiness of this movie even more irritating. It's a mess of a movie.
