 Derick Hart | It's really good |
| Just got back from the theater, and yes this film is worth your time... (by nicholasHasaDog) |
| Beautiful, thought-provoking, well-crafted gem-thank you to everyone involved in making this wonderful film. Although this film is a "message movie," it's not one told through narrow-minded tunnel vision; I think the author Angie Thomas of the book, that this film is based on, understands the frustrating fact that some of the worst issues that need fixing have no quick and easy solutions, and are complex and take time for the human mind to understand especially to the minds of those who aren't being affected / victimized, who inevitably take longer to understand . <more> |
| This is a very good movie (by e-malimenkova) |
| Not sure why the rating is so low. I liked it a lot. And I'm Russian |
| Such an important movie (by chrisgarriga) |
| Watched the movie with my 14 year old daughter. The movie was engaging from the start. Amazing story and strong performances, deliver a topical and important message. Bring tissues. |
| Strong cast with a stronger message. (by andythorntonhebburnnewca) |
| Seen this at a secret screening and was surprised at how much I enjoyed it as the film looked aimed at teens but the core message of the film landed well. |
| Great writing and riveting drama (by seeweare) |
| Just watched the movie 'The Hate U Give' at a secret screening. It is a powerful, riveting drama and a must watch. Kudos to screen writers for such a balanced mix of love and hate, silence and protest, courage and fear, facts and prejudices, and overall an honest and fearless portrayal of enemy outside and within. I am amazed at the moral clarity of the writer. |
| Saw this in a secret screening (by lucyhdouglas) |
| I feel like the people who have given this a very low rating are probably people who don't actually realise that this kind of stuff that the film is based on is actually happening in the world. That black people are less advantaged to white people. That they are actually killed by white cops. Yes, this film had some scenes where it had that teen movie feel but it brought it all together and made a brilliant film with a strong, thought-provoking message that needs to be told, and that needs to be heard. I HIGHLY recommend that everyone sees this film. |
| A Perspective Film (by ebkamikaze) |
| I believe this film creates an opportunity to open the eyes of someone not privy to our perspective. Sometimes they have to see these issues play out in front of them. A story or speech may not reach deep enough to connect you to the heart of people who have suffered loss and live in a near impossible situation. If you just see it as a I HATE WHITES movie, you've missed the point. Dig deeper. Do I have some criticisms, of course. Some scenarios are obvious slaves to plot progression. One argument could be that only 1-2 characters had a complete arc and that some questions were left <more> |
| TIRED OF IGNORANT REVIEWS ON BLACK FILMS (by ToniRomae) |
| I have no doubt that all the unreasonably low ratings are made by ignorant prejudice people who will never understand the importance of these films.THIS FILM DOESN'T INCREASE RACIAL TENSION THAT ISNT ALREADY PRESENT IN YOUR COUNTRY.IF THIS FILM DIDN'T MAKE YOU QUESTION POLICE AND COMMUNITY RELATIONS IN LOWER INCOME AREAS THEN YOU'RE A PART OF THE PROBLEM.And NO he did not obey the officer which is stupid but if you didn't also question the officers actions you're also THE PROBLEM.The plot could've improved in some areas but the acting for the most part was definitely <more> |
| great story (by leahpurton) |
| At first I thought this movie was going to be a teen rom com but was not that at all. This movies is powerful with the message it brings across. definitely recommend!!! |
