Master

5.6* I like the whole perspective it took on racism but there was something lacking. It's like it kept getting to this point where there the suspense is high and then nothing happens. It continuously gave this uneasy feeling that you get when watching a horror film but never delves deep enough into the story to have a true feeling of horror. A lot of the story could've been elaborated on. The writers definitely had a message they wanted to express but most of the meaning is buried somewhere outside of this film. Regina Hall and Zoe Renee were excellent though.

PS.... As with all film about racism, yt people will try to drive the score down way more than it should be (just as they did with candyman) so watch and form your own opinions.

Ok this is not a traditional horror movie that many were expecting but instead it's more of a horror/drama film. It was intriguing throughout and held my attention. It's clever and smart showing that all may not be well as it seems. Give it a chance.

Master is more concerned as a social commentary instead of as a horror film, but that doesn't mean negates its "scarryness." One must give Mariama Diallo a credit for her strong direction. Master definitely fascinating to watch. However, the film also suffers from a lack of a solid focus while the conveying process of its theme can a little bit falter sometimes. The ambiguity of its many aspects doesn't help either.

It was good until the end. Why? Oh, why..... I never got bored so it could have been a decent or good movie.

But the ending messed it up. If I would be generous, I could say that the ending still has food for thought. But because there could have been more, I'm disappointed and unsatisfied. I'm not sure if I would recommend it. Everything about the movie was okay. Like average okay. If a film doesn't bore you, that means something. But again, the ending is just not enough. Unfortunately, it's one of the most important parts if not the most important I have to fill 42 more characters for this review, so I just keep on rambling.

It is an allegory. It is about racism that is still smouldering.

It is not a bad movie but 'selling' a 'drama' movie as a horror, science fiction or whatever type movie is generally not a good idea.

I still liked it, it is smartly written with good performances, but i can imagine others feel 'betrayed'.
