Dear White People

About this movie

At prestigious Winchester University, biracial student Samantha White (Tessa Thompson, Selma) begins her radio show by stating, "Dear White People, the amount of black friends required, not to seem racist, has just been raised to two. Sorry, your weed man Tyrone doesn't count". With her sharp tongue and witty radio show, it’s not long before Sam causes a stir among the administration and student body alike. Winner of the prestigious Special Jury Award for Breakthrough Talent at the Sundance Film Festival, “Dear White People” is a sly, provocative satire of race relations in the Obama Age - and a hilarious treat of a film.

Ratings and reviews

Steer well clear. Tries to be witty but the plot is jumpy and overcomplicated at times. Completely unfunny. Keep away

I tried to go into it with open mind but jeez. Virtually no plot, bad cast and not one laugh. Also I do object to the title, I know it's fashionable in these times.

Absolutely loved this film. Its witty, on point and to the point. Love its follow up series on Netflix although the latest season isn't up to the film or season 1 standards
