Very powerful message delivered in a very natural manner.
Alot of the content out there shoves the theme/issue in your face to the point that it gets annoying to watch it.
However, Zadi does it with so much humanity that it resonates with you. This is something that'll stay with me.
100% recommend to anyone, irrespective of skin color, to give this a go.

Political, neat, edgy, stirring and incredibly funny, "Tout Simplement Noir" transcends its nature as a sketch film to offer a fascinating portrait of a France in the midst of identity introspection.
I laughed during the whole movie and couldn't disagree with any of the messages of this movie.
This cleverly shows all the issues of organizing a black man protest iin France in front of us. I had never seen any media showing how diverse the "black" category is this well.
Jean-Pascal Zadi has that thing to make you cringe-laugh with how close he hits home. This comedy is important for addressing identity introspection, which is understandably a huge topic in France, even more so if you were raised in an immigrant family.
Regarding the story itself, I found it lacked proper development. I couldn't see a clear arc and the plot progressed without a snatch, so no tension comedy-wise or other. By the end of the movie, I felt we were still midway.
