very cliched and boring.

Rating: 6/10 (22 January 2019)

I'm very disappointed in the critcs this award season, i guess on the one hand, i shouldn't be shocked a true story about a black man and his white bodyguard is making critical waves, but even so, i don't get it. as far as a comedy goes, it was one notch above 'crazy rich asians' (which wasn't funny AT ALL) and this had minor laughs. i don't usually agree with critics but this was getting so many audience raves, i thought i'd like it. from the moment they showed mortenson's character to be racist, i knew where this was going. i also never bought into the 'white savior' trope but this film was a prime example. just an unmemorable film.
