I was going to see it anyway. Might see it solo though, my Dad was deeply affected by the 1967 riots (my mom too) and I feel like I wouldn't be able to enjoy it seeing it with him.

I don't watch movie trailers so I dunno

I remember when it was announced and haven't followed it until just now since I knew it was coming out this week

I'm very hesitant. I studied the history of Detroit in college and am worried they'll do the surface-level pandering instead of digging deeply into the decades that led to the riots.

I guess people are okay with completely disregarding what most other critics have to say?

To be fair, I don't think that interpretation is a common viewpoint. Which is not to say it is invalid, but I wouldn't go in expecting that necessarily.

Wow, I mean sure the movie is probably gratuitous or surface level

But that review made it seem like the problem was that the movie didn't tell you what to feel hard enough

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

Get shot in the back of the head by a cop or get your house burned down by a rioter. Act method, damn it!

Looks like Fruitvale Station 2. I was undecided on it, but there ain't much else out I haven't seen already

Laugh, and the world laughs with you; Weep, and you weep alone;
For the sad old earth must borrow its mirth, but has trouble enough of its own.
