Heart in the right place, but overrated

Rating: 4/10 (31 January 2018)

After hearing all the great reviews and praises, while still avoiding any spoilers, I started to watch this movie prepared to love it.
I found it... silly.
Flat. Unsubtle and unoriginal. Absolutely zero scary. With an unsatisfying payout, and jarring changes in tone.
And not really very biting in its social commentary, too.
The only thing positive I can say about it is that it have its heart in the right place, but the execution...
Maybe the language of the movie failed me because I'm European and not American, I don't know, but I suspect that a good share of the praises the movie got were because it's on the few that are not loaded with jarring moral values, and I guess that especially in this historical moments that's quite important... still I truly look forward to a future with so many movies and work of art made with social awareness and wide representation of all, so that we can start praising movies that are *really* good in itself, and that being not morally repugnant is a given, not a special cause for praise.
