Wow you are FAST!!!! Thank you for this review! I indeed have this movie on my queue.
💪🏻💪🏻
Dont watch it its waste of time
I think they were going to kill the entire family. They just start with him.
You probably saw it already, but it for me was a sick movie.
If "F*** them kids" was a person 😳🤦🏾♀️
Facts 😩😭 Omg . She did it twiceeee 🥴🫠
I literally said this last night with my friend when we were watching ! LOL. I laughed so hard at the ending!!
Now she'll have 4 of them chasing her
@@terenarosa4790 I was thinking the same thing! 🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Carl was a psychopath like his mother! She passed down those traits to him. The sister , Dione, does have some type of personality disorder, because she carried a stuffed animal, like she was 5. Therefore, something happened that stunted her growth, perhaps her mother leaving?
Ian didn’t deserve any of that. Carl was evil and ruthless when he took his life. Everyone in that house was a victim of Cheryl/Neve. And everyone paid for her sins, which wasn’t fair. Carl and Dione spiraled after their mom tried to pay them to leave.
Moral of the story: your actions have consequences and affect everyone around you. She may run, but her kids will catch up to her.
I think it was a very good movie
Thought it was going to be a horror movie but it just turned into a lifetime drama movie after 25 minutes 😅
seriously i was so confused waiting for the horror. it was listed as horror online….
I thought it was going to be a thriller but it turned into a very entertaining comedy.
Same!! Horror or some sort of sci-fi aspect. So disappointed I wasted that portion of my life watching it lol
Well it's socially horrifying...
this is really Netflix's fault. If people are leaving NETFLIX, it is movies like this that makes them do so. It is a HORROR, but not a story really of possible ghosts and such.
The ending made sense to me, it was all about her thinking about survival and leveling up no matter what it takes
Don't understand why the Dad had to pay the price tho.
Cuz he’s white
@@Boonies that actually makes an incredible amount of logic, damn didn't put 2 and 2 together.
@@manbenitez247 I’m glad I got you on the right track 💋
@@Boonies No,it goes more deeper than that. Transferring the weight that was on his shoulders to the farther quite literally. Especially when he said now we’re even as he pushed the farther to hold the weight. Meaning the weight of society for POC,now it’s his turn to feel it.
@@daly932 because he's white... thanks for confirming what i just said in a LONGER way LOL
If “alright imma head out” was a person
Facts
I'm really confused about how they persistently affirm the harmful stereotypes that black people are druggies, violent and psychotic. Who is this movie for and what is the message??
The hardest part about escaping the ghetto is leaving the people behind
It's just a movie made to get white people to associate Afro-European as black by using the tragic mulelatto trope. And it's working.
Mixed race people aren't black nor white but stating this is regarded as a denial of the identity black people want represented in media and society.
EXACTLY!!!! They basically reinforced the stereotypes and instead of vindication, they deserve prison time for a list of crimes on innocent people because of twisted jealousy
Her black son was definitely giving stereotype.. Violent, aggressive, smokes weed etc.
I thought about that too!
I actually found the ending HILARIOUS! I literally laughed so hard for a good minute hahaha!! The entire movie overall though had me asking wtf?? It was all over the place in my opinion. I gave it a 4/10
Yo i hollared at the end. I mean LMFAO literally.
I feel the confusion was on purpose. In hindsight i feel it was what a web of lies feel like and her trying to keep it together until it’s too much and she’s like all well ✌🏽
Lmao if “alright imma head out” was a person
same! she was crazy, they were crazy. And she wasn't sh*t and still aint sh*t for leaving again lmao
Yeah it really wasnt good lol. I was giving it a 5/10 until the last 10 minutes then it dropped to a 4. Just, so many stupid things happening that make 0 sense. One being there is not a weapon in sight, they some how break in in like 5 minutes, its 4v2, and we watch this cringe ass scene for 20 minutes. SHit
Best part was when Ian said “I want a divorce!” 😅
I howled when he got head butted and Abi gave him tissue and he said " thanks Abi" 😂😂😂
I think that's where he had to pay the price. Up until before that he was doing fine.
I think we got to see what a dysfunctional family they may have really been. there was no love really in the family. It was all about social; pretense. What the hell, they did not even bother or seem to know that there son had a basketball game. Wouldn't you want to go to give him support. They got more support from there half brother and sister.
They way the kids acted I wouldn’t want them either 😂😂😂
Yes they were terrible probably the worst acting I have ever seen in my life
Also, Neve's White husband tells her that he likes her natural hair and wants to know why she covers it up, and Neve responds by saying what most Black women who wear wigs and weaves say: "it's just maintenance when, in fact, she's ashamed of her natural hair.
That part.
This movie was honestly lacked the intrigue the trailer provided. It ended up being predictable with a thinly veiled plot.
I’m somewhat with you on that
Sooooo you knew she would abandon them all🤣🤣🤣I dont believe you🤣
The ending was definitely not predictable
@@Mason-sg9zf Simple mind man. This lacked drastically...
@@emerald_skai205 is this sarcasm? the entire movie is leading up to her doing that.
I wish they humanized her eldest children more
That was done on purpose. They were literally the only Black ppl in the movie. They were used as the boogyman of the past that haunted her. The wigs, skin lightener products, her obvious issues with the way the daughter styles her hair, etc.
Yeah i dont understand why they didnt go more into their backstories, like show some kind of flashback so we can see why they are they the way they are. Instead we just get “mommy left us now were mad and evil”.
@@surotto4321
I don't think it was just "mommy left us", the final straw was the check and then they went psycho. If she hadn't done that, they'd probably heal.
@@projectrain2254 i gauged that i really hated the whole thing it was so intentionally clear
I completely agree. It would have added so much more to this film, instead of making them like the evil villains… we could have been rooting for them, since we really weren’t rooting for the mom, and then there could have been more of a twist at the end when they decided to do what they did.
The ending is exactly what would happen in real life. “I’ll leave y’all too”.. it’s that simple
The woke brigade disagree
That part🤷
I think the hardest part of what really broke the childrens' hearts is that the mom wanted to get rid of them by telling them to go back to where they came from with two separate checks.
As much as how the children wanted the luxury lives they have missed out, it's more of the nurturing and loving mother they were hoping to find. But it turned up more disappointing and therefore the revenge took place.
I think the father died innocently. But also a trauma projection of the father figure that the children never had.
Ending just pulled all the children together, I believe.
A shocking realization that it's not the children at fault, it's the life that the mother has created and abandoned as soon as it longer fits the way she has planned it.
Actually all the characters in this movie are victims of hers.
Of how she wants to live her life and how she's seen by others is far more important than the people in it.
I 💯 agree with you. You can see the reaction of the two children when she gives them the separate checks 😞 the daughter even asks if they are moving in with them and you can see that she just wants her Mum, wants a real family and wants to be loved 😔 I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed that. I understand that they might remind her of traumatic events she went through but it's like she is ashamed of them 😥 she thought that money would solve it instead of actually taking the time to properly get to know them better! I am only half way through so I'm not sure what happens but it really broke my heart 😭😭
Those kids were damaged beyond repair. Monsters!
@@ashley.taylor174of course, the kids with the more obvious Black phenotype are the “monsters”! THAT very perception was what I feared from non Black people viewing this movie
No way the kids bonded after that lol
@@MorganMingo70 It’s actually more about nurture than nature. They were neglected, unwanted, and unloved do of course they became monsters. Rejection, poverty, and colorism turned them into monsters.
Yes the ending is cleaver cause it makes you feel the disappointment and let down she caused her children! I think that was brilliant!
Right?!
Definitely has Jordan Peele vibes
🎯
Ending was actually pleasant surprise, pretty like it
It is not clever to simply subverting expectation when the result of that leaves the film in ruins and makes it all shit.
@@charliewalker9443 ur just pointlessly bitching. The subversion actually worked in this instance even though the movie is all over the place.
@@you-5-iver804 I mean, everyones comments are pointless if you can just assert as much. I am rather annoyed at the film and my bitching is simply a demonstration of how bad the film is and its affects. The subversion did not work. It is not clever to say “And the mother leaves, they are strays, the end”. That is so absurdly dumb and actually leaves no real message, no real conclusions, no real ending to the story. It just opens up so many dumb questions. Endings like this only work when the audience have some semblance of satisfaction through the story to where the ending makes us re-think everything. This film is straight forward and boring, the main character horribly unlikeable and this the pay off is a drip from a pipe.
@@charliewalker9443 lol k
@@k.ennethlim k! 👍
The new family had nothing to do with this woman’s psychological problems. They were lied to as well. 🤬
when she said -I did what men do all the time.. I was like woah that's a fact.
That's a good point
For the film itself, i found the interesting points to be what it said about motherhood, or mothers in general. A thing that separates us from the animals is that we (usually) stay with our children for life. Animals don’t. Hence…strays….
Says a lot about her character.
So, in the end, was she justifying it by thinking if she took herself out of it the kids would be ok, just as she took herself out of the old situation and the dad didn’t hurt the children (in her eyes)? But really, it’s selfish as hell.
@@ekg891 very true. You always hear the term “white passing” in history as well. Historically, life was easier for those who could do so. Incredibly sad.
I had to search reviews for this movie because I was so disappointed in it and had to see if I was alone, especially for being the #2 movie on Netflix right now. I could go into detail about why I didn’t like it, but I would literally have to talk about every part of the movie at that point. It just sucked
On IMBD ony 4.8.
So, not the Will Farrell dog movie...got it!!!
LOL confused me too
Ok guys so I've done some research & and apparently, the film is the director making a statement for the struggles he faced rising out of poverty, crime & violence
According to him he was assaulted & ostracised by his own black community for going to film school & trying to make a life for himself
Yup, now it all makes sense. Puts the movie in a totally different perspective. Thanks for that comment.
He did a trash job of it. I so badly wanted to root for the kids, but the more the film went on, the more I wanted them locked up. What was their end goal? All they accomplished was killing an innocent man and tormenting innocent kids.
Where did he say this?
Well, he made a shit film.
it felt like they were just demonizing dark skin kids with trauma.
I think the ideas for a great movie was all there they just didn’t really know how to put it together so there is good pieces but something was missing
Exactly
I’m a sucker for a good ending… I almost stopped watching but I’m glad I didn’t bc the ending was good. Really enjoyed the feel of this film and I appreciate the messages it spoke about.
My fave part was when she finally turned the damn water off! Phew! It was driving me nuts! 😂
That's all I cared about after a while because the movie itself made no sense.
Neve/Cheryl wanted her “Black” children to go away. Yet some people can’t seem to understand why they’re “Aggressive”. Their mom abandoned them THRICE! When they were little, at the diner trying to pay them off and at the end!!!
AND the party when she went off on them. That's when they said "Mom!" I was like... 😮tf?!
The whole thrust of this movie (until the end) was a woman coming to terms with the choices she had made to abandon her children and her race. And witness the carnage of that choice. And hope for redemption. BUT the last 5 minutes of the film went “just kidding! It’s about a mom leaving anyone, anywhere.” Which negated the entire movie. What a bummer! This did not stick the landing. It was a cheap exit.
At the end of the day, the food delivery guy was the saviour 😅😅
It wasn't a cheap exit. The mother was a narcissistic sociopath. She was not capable of coming to terms with the choices she's made.
Enjoyed it , was so looking forward to watch it . But expected more from it suspense wise . Don’t usually like endings like that but it made sense . Like the film took inspiration from Funny games , Jordan Peele and others .
Watch the last frame of the movie where she looks into the mirror. You see this beautiful entry way yet she has the same demeanor from her youth that if only I had these things I’d be happy. The same shot from the first scene yet two different lifestyles.
To top it off she uses an even worse excuse for leaving the first time. She made the same decisions with her husband having two kids with perfect home and career yet she just could not attain the happiness that was portrayed on the tv when she spoke with her sister before leaving. Just proves having a family, career with a beautiful house could not fill the void in her life. That’s my thoughts at least.
The actions of the mother. The endangering of others. The unanswered questions. Those things left me infuriated by the end of the film, which could have spoken, much more clearly, about the themes of race and class that it hinted at. Instead it chose stereotype and an ultimate lack of resolution that might reasonably leave you wondering why you wasted 90 minutes of your time.
lol..exactly. The way this played out, i felt actually poured gas on the "this is why you shouldn't trust black people" more than me feeling any pity for them as much as I wanted to. They were just acting like sociopaths giving no clear idea of what they wanted as an outcome other than tormenting the guilty mom out of anger and her innocent family out of hatred & jealousy.
It's like...technically shouldn't they both go to prison now? How tf is that any kind of well thought out plan lol
@@rbz1 yes yes yes! So basically, the movie saying : it is good to be white because black people are sociopaths, violent and bad! And of course she is running away with a white guy! I dont know why the race card was important for this movie! I really didn't like the movie at all
@@rbz1I agree. It felt like a hidden message to white people to not trust black people
moving swiftly on
It had get out and funny games vibes but the ending is ridiculous and hilarious wish that director sticks to a particular genre and proper conclusion.
They gotta leave these movies to Jordan Peele fr 🤦🏾♂️
Ikr it should've had a part 2 too that movie my opinion🤷
Movie about a no for good violent woman beater father who causes his wife to flee from him and his kids whom then years later grow up to act just like the criminal father she fled from. It's a classic story of the apples don't fall far from the tree 😆.
Sadly disappointed with this movie...expected more. I don't know if it was just me but I was so bored??
I couldn't wait for it to end lol
Played on 1.5x, wished there was a 2x.
She favors eartha kitt
I was thinking that the entire time, she really does
I was thinking those were not her kids at all impostors perhaps. then toward the end I started feeling them kids got they craziness from the mother.
Craziness? You mean how terrified she was when two delusional thugs broke into her home & held her family as hostages?
how dumb are you it literally shows her back story LOL.
I am 15 and have never watched a horror. I do get spooked bby some thins and it styas with me for a while. I want to watch it. Do you think I should and wouldn't scare the shit out of me.
I feel like this movie is the opposite of what Jordan Peele does. Jordan Peele empathizes with Black people and shows the ways in which the world can be a scary place for Black people.
The Strays asserts that Black people and Blackness is horrible and it is worth it to hide your Black roots if you can because Blackness is bad and wrong and will keep you from living a good life. The Strays is a very antiblack film. Making the Black children, who should be the victims, into the villains was a cruel choice.
Actually I felt it shows how repulsive self hatred is. The wigs were creepy. Watching the ritual of her hiding her hair highlights the insanity of that choice. She was clearly crazy. Yet we in our society normalise black women wearing hair that looks nothingike their own. The fake accent like that annoying Valley Girl Olivia Pope accent black girls are doing isn't normal. It's grotesque mask wearing like those dumb wigs. . The children were victims of a heartless self hating mother who had no redeeming qualities. Clearly you and I saw a different movie. The 🖐🏻life she sold her soul for was empty and flavorless. Her mixed children craved blackness. This is an explicit anti 🖐🏻 supremacist piece. I can't imagine how you drew your conclusions.
I think there were a lot of gaps in character motivation. It would have made more sense if there was evidence that the father of the older children was controlling and violent and that he had raised the children. The mothers actions seem narcissistic but she is clearly terrified and has experienced trauma in the past. The second husbands treatment doesnt make any sense at all. Why was he targeted? The first daughter was amazing, her motivation was clear and her acting ability was chilling and very real. I thought the final scene was perfect.
You gotta turn of your American “story resolution filter” when watch English and Australian thrillers like this and Eden Lake.
Just like in real life, sometimes things don’t end well and the bad people aren’t punished.
Just so you know. The school is meant to be a private school. Not a public school.
I’m sure Cocaine Bear will also have a lot of Jordan Peele comparisons.
Right!!! Nobody can do a movie without the comparison . 🤣🤣🤣
Another fantastic video! Thank you!!!
If you have Black sons, they definitely needed to watch this movie, since most Black males (the common Black males and Black male celebrities) are the main perpetrators of colorism against their own darker skinned women. The world knows how Black males worship lighter skinned. In fact, this movie would have been more truthful if the story was about a Black male who left his Black family to marry and have children with a White woman or for any woman who was not Black, being that this happens often with Black males. TBT
@@rhondae8222 Thanks Rhonda, but I think people should be free to marry whoever they want. If a black man wouldn't have married a white woman I wouldn't be alive, but good luck with that
I wish we got a little more information on the dynamic of her past relationship and family life. But I think it also works that we didn’t because we only know as much as the kids know. I loved the ending. #childfree
I thought it was wack until the end... Now I'm Just Extremely Pissed Off Because The End Truly Threw Me!! So rund of applause for a weird ass movie that was definitely unnerving in a plot Twist kind of way. The Father didn't Deserve the His Dismise but the Mom was battling Some Deep inners Demons too
loved the the movie and the ending was just brilliant couldnt stop laughing
Why did it end like that?..
Too many strays movies coming out this year first this movie plus the live action Dog movie🤣
It was uncomfortable for me as a white person to watch black self-hatred played out on the screen with no redeeming ending. This doesn't mean that the ending doesn't work within the context of the film. In fact, the whole film doesn't work because of the break in perspective (see Burke's explanation). MASTER was a much better, well rounded film that balanced black self-hatred with black self-love as well as obvious racism and white stupidity in trying to be supposedly open to others. The Strays left me wondering 'So?' SPOILER ALERT .............................................................................................................................................
Was the writer/ director wanting to show that women in general (black, white etc) can walk out on families as some males (white, black etc) are known to do? In that case, race isn't the issue, it's sexism against men. This might be a better way to talk about the film.
As a mixed race woman I'm tired of having my racial classification reduced to a pathological state of "self hate".
Every movie/show on Netflix featurring mixed race characters from Passing, To Georgia and Ginny (or what ever order the is) to this hot mess take the very racist tragic mulelatto trope to define an expirence neither white or black people get but seem to think they can speak on.
Being of mixed ancestry means we embrace both of our parents equally. The racism and conflict comes from outside more so than within. So if the movie doesn't address how white people will try to make mixed race people identify as Black to keep them other or how black people will demean mixed race people for as "rape tone" than it's not a movie I care to watch.
Just don't take this film ad offering insight on the mixed race expirence.
I'm black and totally agree. I wanted them to have some true vindication but they just went psycho on everyone while all the white people they encountered were basically nice to them. From the school giving a job (and defending the cigarette thing despite the mom's accusation), to the dad giving the girl a job, to the diner waitress....and they both were shtty to everyone without just cause, except the mom. The racism theme fell flat and I just wanted them locked up by the end.
Rubbish movie, portraying black people as violent and condescending, it’s a no no for me
Disagree. It portrayed what usually happens when you come from a broken home and raised in the system. It also shows what happens when a person comes from a loving family. It showed the truth. How we are nurtured typically affects who we become.
This movie is like, "all that build up, all for nothing." Hahaha
I must have missed something because I never got how she was their mother. It just didn't fit for me
May I ask why not?
Everyone paid for HER sins….disgusting. I was hoping it would have some sort of sci-fi or horror aspect that was causing her to derail. The movie was just disappointing. The way it portrays stereotypes was horrible. The ending was just odd. The daughter could have called 911 or they could’ve ran outside when they were there with Dionne. I was expecting some sort of big revelation as to the reasons behind Neve’s actions…but there wasn’t any. Just that she was selfish and everyone around her pays for her sins.
It was a good weird film, but that ending was just… bruh. It just made me feel like 👁👄👁 lol
the man of the house ended up not being the MAN of the house... soon as id see the taps running ,, its a case of FO out my house, then u wouldn't have to worry about a barbell .. would you?
This movie was great and I was crying all the way through and it was terrifying at the same time and also very hilarious towards the end
You must be on drugs.
For me i laughed All the way through. The dark comedy timing was legit😅
@@charliewalker9443 I have a right to my perspective It hit differently from me because I know people like her who suffer with their identity bro I really can't explain to you my position of being African American because the God honest truth is you will never understand because you're not a person of color. But this movie kind of gives you an idea of how Color is looked at as a social status in this country
@@someblackguy100 Dude, except that goes for everyone, everywhere, throughout history. You never know what it is like to be like anyone else, any other race, any of the many hundreds on enslaved and mistreated cultures and populations. We all suffer with our identity, we are all star dust here on earth for a finite time trying to get through. There is nothing special about any of us objectively.
You can always find meaning in something, i am sure people find meaning in movies like “Jack and Jill” or “The Zookeeper” people will take what they wish. I took from this garbage film that nice people finish last and it does not pay to let your guard down to those claiming to be the worst affected, other wise it will be you that is taking the punishment. Additionally, this film shown me that the script writer believes black people to be lesser folk than the rest, they were not interested to offer these people redeeming qualities. They play to every bad stereotype to a T, they become the ultimate villains and the only people who gave a rats ass about status was those searching for it.
@Charlie Walker I guess . I do know my truth tho and u have Experience racism and although we like to ignore it when it comes to a black individual expression that it's still the reality of the world in some people's cases not all. I enjoyed the movie I like movies like these and Jordan peel's films as well Because once understanding what it's about you can watch it over again with different perspective applied and then it changes the atmosphere of what the film is. But anyway I am a proud Brown skin did mail and I know that theymore to my people Then stereotypes and that goes for all people as well
I couldn't stop laughing
I hated this movie. It's offensive to the mixed race expirence and I've already stated it in other replies but I'm legit irate over how in a time where people are demanded authentic representation we still aren't allowed that with our own experience.
Mixed race people just get reduced to pathological dysfunction that only an acceptance of blackness can fix.
🙄
But that is exactly what the film is about. What do you mean by "authentic representation"? What would have liked to have seen?
I get where you are coming from. Firstly the movie didn't make it clear if she was mixed race or light skinned black (there is a difference particularly in upbringing). Also many mixed race people do grow up with their white wide so likely to take on traits of their white family, as well as the non-black side..
One drop rule isn't even a thing in 2023 but the movie felt like it was trying to push that Neve's kids with her husband should identify as black also..
@@honeybee19892 Absolutely. The movie had an incredibly flattened, reductive and very American-centric view of Blackness.
White passing is a real thing so how is it offensive?
@@beautifulsoulgirl8683 People seem to forget that film is a form art & that art is an expression of emotion
Or maybe they just don't understand that this film wasn't made to please them
This movie is a combination of the movies US and the black classic Imitation of Life.
I hate the way that it ended. However, I enjoyed watching till the 25ish.
Hoping next month is better with series n movies lame month on netflix
Yuppp
I second that
Yea I think it was a little crazy to off the dad character.
I think it would have been better if they didn’t actually murder someone.
It was So odd. I just figured sense it was a British Film it was some strange things that I didn't like.
But the end was COMEDY
I get what they wanted to convey..but this was a frustrating nonsensical way to do it. By the end.i felt used by this trash. The ending wasn't good for me only because at a certain point I just wanted it to be over and was tired of cursing out the foolishness of it all.
Who else was looking for the dog movie, review, Strays?
Are we supposed to assume that they killed the new children at the end
No. They are now filled with trauma and abandonment just like the first two.
And with that ending we are left "abandoned" (unfulfilled)
Must be a very sick minded person to come to that conclusion
🤷🏽♀️
@@bradwilliams3278what
The ending pissed me off, steven kings has better endings! Lol
Totally agrees . Worth watching.
What happened to their father why were the kids left with an Aunt?
Why didn't the father get his children. O think she killed their father. She was too worried looking over her shoulder she wasn't looking for her children to come back she didn't even know who they were. Why did the crazy son have that scar in the back of his head
The father was abusive, that's why she left the kids with her sister.
The scar was probably from a beating Carl took from his father, or even his mother because both kids talk about "the meanies" - which is the physical abuse they suffered from their mother. We see her lash out and best Sebastian when he comes home late from basketball.
Hsted this movie..and why the black kids look so rough?? Weird asf..the brother looked old and the dad was made the scapegoat, why? He didn't even know anything..ugh
Man. I wish SOMEONE would tell me what this movie's about. I STILL don't get it.
It's about black people expecting other black people to stick together
Neve was seen as a traitor because she chose to live non black
It's about a mother abandoning her children.
I just got done watching this movie, and I thought it was great.
I believe Ian died because he was White and seen as a threat, just like the bully on the basketball team.
He saw Ian as a threat and knew he was privileged due to the color of his skin.
He also wanted him to feel the same weight that people of color carry in our society by forcing him to hold up all the weight. This scene's symbolism can be seen when he says, “We are the same now.” This is a very symbolic scene that is hard to catch and hard to understand unless you rewatch it.
I get it, and still think it was a trash way to convey it. They belong in prison now so they could make a point i guess.
I don't think it has anything to do with his race. I just think they were crazy like their momma
@@alamoja lol rewatch because of you don’t think it is about race….you are not paying attention
If you have Black sons, they definitely needed to watch this movie, since most Black males (the common Black males and Black male celebrities) are the main perpetrators of colorism against their own darker skinned women. The world knows how Black males worship lighter skinned. In fact, this movie would have been more truthful if the story was about a Black male who left his Black family to marry and have children with a White woman or for any woman who was not Black, being that this happens often with Black males.

@@rhondae8222 what is wrong with a black man marrying a white woman? Sounds kinda racist if you ask me
What happens in the dark comes to the light 😂
Dhar mann
The worst movie I ever seen ..:
Wow just terrible
I ENJOYED IT!!! LOL
The premise reminds me of 'The Stranger'. That was a great show...
But that's nothing to do with anything..
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr Conway Twitty...
This reference makes me happy
Wonder 🤔 wether neve or Cheryl character
to some extent was representing Megan Merkel wife of prince Harry
I have never left a review before but Yoo!! This movie is honestly a total waste of time! I feel the movie could have ended a better way with more meaning plots and morals!!
The plots were not properly written and didn’t play out well.
So why the wasn’t mad at they abusive daddy??? isn’t that’s why the mom ran off?????
Where’s the Creed review Austin?
Reaction on the channel! Embargo not lifted yet 🙌🏻
One of the worst films I have seen. Truly terrible and has no message that works.
I liked this movie a lot. Not sure why everyone is giving it shit.
That’s fair. Appreciate the honesty
The ending..... Unfinished

Agreed💯💯
Should b called Mom being Anti black tha movie 😂
The movie touched on abandonment, classism, racism and colourism.
The brother did not kill the father, he just didn't help him with the weight. More like manslaughter on his part. When the husband said he wanted a divorce, I knew he was a goner.
That's murder🤣 I'm going to tell a quadriplegic to swim and if he can't well then it's too bad he killed himself
I just wanted them to turn the fucking water off. It was annoying.
Thought the same is trash, not good acting, no "heavyweight" in story, no connection to the characters, no thrill
6 of 10...
This is the normal film
half of 6 lol

This movie was a bad movie and solidly 3-4 IMDb out of 10 is the correct score. The whole movie was a mess and just everywhere but what made it bad was it’s connotations of racial preferences/ tying race to social standing and simply continuing the narrative of the poor black kids. Unwanted, unloved, violent and psychotic vs the partially black kids all innocent, nice, enriched and accepted by society and deserving of 2 loving parents. This whole show played on the idea of mixed race people trying find they’re identity and choosing what is most beneficial for them and rejecting the other when it isn’t. This movie unfortunately portrays as the bad guys “the dark skinned black people” while the mixed children and white husband as the good people. But her kids ethnicity wasn’t shown to be the focal point of this movie but rather the struggles that this women has with her own identity and ethnicity. So why make the dark skinned black kids violent, why describe their father as “a bad guy and he treated them bad”. This would have had a much better and interesting conversion if both children were same ethnicity which would have brought the full focus point of who the real issue was, which is suppose to be the Mother. So this movie though gives Jordan Peele black horror vibes, it far falls short on it and instead perpetuates the same stereotypes and continues to just feed the propaganda machine of black kids and ethnicity, even of mixed race people. This was a very unthought out movie in terms of racial messaging.
I did not care for this movie. I didn't even watch a good part of it.
Wow you have such a beautiful face wtf 🥹😍
Even at the very beginning, she is extremely unlikable. As movie goes on, she becomes my most hated main character. OK movie though.
It was very disturbing...but so good colorisim is a huge issue in the black community
This show let me know
Woke…shit
I’m seconds, literal seconds
Shit
I hated this movie as a whole
Second
Keep counting..👍😄
