Summary: Tyler (Jason Mitchell) joins his friend on a trip to the Catskills for a weekend birthday party with several people he doesn’t know. As soon as they get there, it’s clear that (1) he’s the only black guy, and (2) it’s going to be a weekend of heavy drinking. Although Tyler is welcomed, he can’t help but feel uneasy in “Whitesville.” TheTyler (Jason Mitchell) joins his friend on a trip to the Catskills for a weekend birthday party with several people he doesn’t know.

It’s painful, paranoiac stuff, and your heart breaks for Tyler, who feels increasingly trapped among a crew of rowdy, drunk, irreverent white dudes, as these little injustices mount. Read full review

The stranger Tyrel gets, the more accurate it feels. The ecosystem of behaviors and attitudes on display is so unnervingly sharp that some of us may well find ourselves wincing in recognition. Read full review

A finely gradated study of race and masculinity in the age of Trump, Tyrel is also an engrossing portrait of the revealing power of language. Read full review

Not giving into audience expectations and thus creating something more terrifying in its relatability, Sebastián Silva’s TYREL follows a testosterone-heavy weekend and the anxiety-inducing isolation one character is faced with. Read full review

Sharply observed but lacking in the probing psychological insights of Silva’s best movies, Tyrel is a chamber piece whose rhythms feel entirely natural (it’s shot in cast member Arze’s house), but which doesn’t resonate greatly after the fadeout. Read full review

Movie Nation Roger Moore

Chilean-born writer-director Sebastián Silva (“Nasty Baby”) gives us an intimate mumblecore (lots and lots of talking) allegory about the struggle to maintain your identity when everything around you seems to subsume it. Read full review

So listless and dry that the only jolt of electricity I experienced was when the screener blew up seven minutes before the end. The half hour I spent fighting with the Magnolia Pictures website was more suspenseful and interesting than anything I saw in their product. Read full review

Pretty good movie. I kinda felt bad for Tyler. I can kind of relate to him in a way. Worth a watch.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This was THE most pointless movie that I have ever seen. I get it. It was supposed to make you feel uneasy since Tyler was the only black dude in an entire house full of white guys in the woods. And maybe you're supposed to feel guilty about feeling that way. Whatever

But the fact that NOTHING happened period makes it feel like it was one big troll of a film. Remember how you used to just hang out, smoke weed and waste days away during summer holidays ? That is exactly what this movie is. Watching a group of friends getting intoxicated and mess about. I'm so pissed for waiting for something to happen and nothing did. Not even any surprises in the Polaroid picture he took at the end..............nothing.… Expand
