A Great Divide

The characters were way too passive for the intensity of the topic, I got tired feeling angry for their subservient behaviors. The mother shared a horrible experience she had as a child, then why in heavens name would you relocate to Wyoming, thereby purposely opening up your child for a similar experience. We also did not see the son in the school environment. I continued watching, because I had already invested the viewing time. I would not recommend this movie to anyone, the storyline is way too frustrating.

As a person of German and European decent, i have had the unfortunate experience of watching racism from this side of things. Which i truly detest. Every day in Texas, it rains down on people that never deserved it and im sure its everywhere. My trip to Missouri gleaned some of the same, i didnt see a person of any color than mine, in that town, until i visited St Louis. I can attest to the fact that this level of racism exists and I'm sorry that my people are downplaying reality.

As i watched, my toes and jaw clenched, the drama is there, the realism is there, and it was easy to relive the experiences I've had watching others being bullied and tricked based on being different.

As always, the male lead is a phenomenal actor, as is his partner, id love to see all 4 of them in any future movies.

You picked the perfect people to play the antagonists. Maybe it should have been set it Texas, because whew ..... does it spark some memories.

If you are a person of similar descent like mine, and you're more on the conservative side, just go watch the movies that depict you in a better light. A lack of empathy on your part does not mean your review of this movie is authentic or right.

As an Asian American dad, I'm happy to see a movie like this on screen. I loved Ken Jeong in a drama role and the storyline brought me to tears several times. I could relate to the relationships and heartbreak the characters felt. Beautifully shot and hopefully brings some insight to those who have not dealt with racism and prejudice before. The movie is an education in what many Asian Americans have felt for generations and continue to feel, especially during the pandemic. It's a story that needed to be told and makes me feel seen as an Asian American man. I hope to see more movies like this one.

I had high hopes but this is a total political letdown. The acting is decent but the premise is disappointing. It portrays Wyoming and its people in a very unfair light. It seems to be completely fiction, which was perhaps the goal. I was very disappointed in all aspects of this movie. The writing and storyline stink, as does the directing. One of the only redeeming qualities is the setting, which is stunning. The producers and directors should be ashamed of themselves and have clearly never spent any time in Wyoming. The people are very kind and accepting. This movie pairs a very unfair and immaculate portrayal of the state.

I found this movie unexpected and really rewarding to watch. Yes, there were clichés but they're real life clichés, and the sum of the movie made everything fit and seem new and relevatory. I think this is due to the honesty in which the various themes and charactors stories were handled which made this movie wholly original. The performances were all amazing and the story was beautiful, gentle and real even with some of it's harsh reality.

I hope this kind of heartfelt, understated and beautiful movie starts a trend. It's what we need at this time. A movie that will help people breathe, heal and grow up.
