Am I Racist?

This is the first movie in a long time where the arguments being presented are so absurd - so logically cork screwy -that laughter rolled through the cinema. There are horrible racist acts happening in our society - but the conclusion that our society is racist to the core, or that we are all racists, is bunkum. This film sets out to show the DEI industry (and cult) in all its intellectual shoddiness.

The skill of this film is to depict exactly the absurdity of these ideas.

Walsh is a remarkably skilled actor - wins the Borat award for straight faced interviews with people tying themselves up in absurd arguments. There are so many scenes that begin with a grave and seriously proposed premise...that then get taken by the 'white guilt/society is totally racist' workshop and TV show crowd to total farce.

A broader theme - brilliantly presented and established - is the degree to which we, as a society, have become a herd of grazing sheep, digesting whatever the media (of any type or any ideological leaning) present to us as "expert" information. The film is a must see as to how we are all being manipulated unless we keep our critical thinking skills in shape.

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.

I've been a fan of Matt Walsh's since i watched "What is a Woman" and this movie was just as good in my opinion. It's definitely not for everyone. It definitely exposes what's going on in the world today with everyone calling everyone else racist which a lot of people are profiting from. Some of the moments in this movie can seem a little long at times, but not too bad. There were also a few moments in the movie where I was just wondering how there can be people like this in the US. How Matt Walsh kept a straight face while making this movie is amazing. If you are curious or not about watching this movie, just go see it.

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.

"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.
