WHAT’S IT ABOUT

Tyler spirals out of control when he realizes he’s the only black person attending a weekend birthday party in a secluded cabin.

MOVIESinMO Review

This movie is nothing that I expected. The plot makes it seems like horror or a drama considering it’s about one Black guy surrounded by drunk White people at a party. The premise alone leaves so many questions unanswered and more than I would care to ask. In the first fifteen minutes of this film, I had had enough. It was very uncomfortable to watch the main character, Tyler, as he tried to relate to the friends of his friend. After suffering through this almost ninety-minute Sundance movie, it was very apparent that this was more of a social experiment than an entertaining one. Someone must have said, “Hey, lets put a Black guy in a room full of drunk White guys and let the imagination of the audience tell the story.” That’s what this movie is, and that’s all it is. I know most independent films try to have some deep underlining message but Tyrel is not that deep and the message is lost in the delivery. Maybe if this was a time before our current President or current immoral acts against people of color, this film might have served a purpose but not now. Tyrel is a waste of time that wants to prove a point no one cared about.
