    Summary

    Reviewers say 'Am I Racist' delves into race, bias, and DEI initiatives, lauded for its humor, interviews, and social experiments. Matt Walsh's performance and the film's thought-provoking nature receive praise. However, critics argue it lacks depth, oversimplifies issues, and relies on satire over substantive critique. Some feel it misses opportunities for deeper engagement, opting for humor and "gotcha" moments. Despite mixed opinions, the film is recognized for initiating crucial discussions on race and identity.

    Dude needs to let people talk

    So much of what the interviewees are saying is ridiculous and they talk themselves in circles. They make outrageous statements about inherent white supremacy, and draw so many invisible lines it's honestly sad. The fact that people pay to go to seminars to talk about how evil they are is so so sad on its own.

    For whatever reason that's not enough for this guy. He's constantly trying to make jokes (that never land) then repeats them over and over. The intent is clearly to make everyone feel uncomfortable But it totally takes away from the impact of what he's trying to prove.

    It's sad because this could have been an amazing and impactful mockumentary, but instead ends up boring. My grandmother used to say you have to ears and one mouth for a reason, and this guy needs to learn that lesson.

    The people who need to see this, won't

    Definitely worth the watch, though the people who would benefit most from checking it out won't. So this is essentially a "preaching to the choir" situation. Still, it was pretty funny and had relevant points to make. Walsh does a good job of just sitting back and let these people who profit off of manufacturing "racism" everywhere just bury themselves with their own ludicrous words. Will it change their minds? No, because people like this who are hell-bent on keeping "racism" alive (even though, as Thomas Sowell said, it's on life support) stand to lose too much if the problem goes away for the most part. Video review to come shortly.

    Worthy of a Review

    "Am I Racist?" is an amusing documentary that features Matt Walsh on a largely whimsical journey to educate himself on the in's and out's of racial discrimination.

    As far as the comedic elements were concerned, the humor was witty and well-placed; serving as both an adept tool for moving the plot along and extra icing in terms of the overall presentation.

    The story (though intentionally hyperbolic in nature) was more coherent and streamlined than most $100,000,000+ movies that have fallen by the wayside in recent years, and the through-line message was spot on.

    For entertainment value alone, the film is worthy of a review. Moreover, it's a thorough presentation for those looking to learn a thing or two about one of the greatest modern blights few are willing to address.

    7 quality 8 for relevance

    We laughed more than I expected and the commentary really was not provocative. The documentary does a good job of showing not telling and the unifying overall message is exactly what we need these days. Glad to have someone call out the racism and division being spread under the guise of DEI. The movie is heads and shoulders better than any of the other daily wire films and I would happily watch it again and recommend to everyone I know. I think that even people that don't Share the producer's worldview can appreciate the social commentary and the fact that he seems to only punch up not down. The people that he confronts negatively are people specifically trying to spread here and division and making money on it can't picture a more worthy endeavor in filmmaking.

    Comedic documentary.

    Am I Racist?

    The film explores the varied approaches to that question and what it means to be Anti-racist. From talking to Anti-racist experts to patrons from a southern biker bar, many different viewpoints are on display.

    Matt Walsh takes his deadpan humor and gets his DEI certification to meet with people like Robyn DeAnglo (White Fragility), and other voices behind the Anti-racist movement.

    The film exposes the amount of money Anti-racists get paid from the people trying to become anti-racist. There are a few people on the street/ biker bar that share their thoughts on race and racism in America, that was enjoyable.

    There are some really hilarious scenes and some good chuckles through out.

    A recommended watch.

      Matt Walsh: That confuses me too, cuz' I don't wanna mansplain.. Or whitesplain..

      Robin DiAngelo: Yeah, okey.

      Matt Walsh: What is? Maybe that's an important..

      Robin DiAngelo: Yeah?

      Matt Walsh: ..Segway. What is mansplain?

      Robin DiAngelo: Well it would be you, explaining to me either why, what you just did wasn't sexism. Or explaining..

      Matt Walsh: [interrupts] I don't think that's what it is, I think mansplain is to make an assumption. To say something in an assuming way.

    • Crazy credits
      After the credits, Matt makes a phone call to the bookstore he visited at the beginning of the film, and asks them if they still have the book (seen briefly when Matt was there) which he knew the title of, but couldn't say the name of.
