Contemporary American race relations are examined through an ostensibly innocent set up in writer/director Sebastian Silva’s drama. Tyler joins his friend on a weekend trip to the scenic Catskills, along with several people he doesn’t know. On getting there, he realises to his unease that he’s the only black person, and there will be plenty of alcohol throughout the weekend. What emerges is a revealing and insightful social satire that feels timely and pertinent.
