It literally hurts my soul to see all these **** reviews trying to drive down the importance of this documentary. Bad acting? It wasn't acting!

Bad acting? It wasn't acting! It was a man's journey through life as well as the story of America in the words of Americans. Tough that it came off as racist, but, you know, maybe that was the point? Very eye opening and an important watch… Expand

I am a successful, middle-aged, center-right-leaning-conservative white male. I found Jeff’s documentary to be compelling, educational and moving. At the time of this posting the professional critic reviews of Who We Are are very high at 89I am a successful, middle-aged, center-right-leaning-conservative white male. I found Jeff’s documentary to be compelling, educational and moving. At the time of this posting the professional critic reviews of Who We Are are very high at 89 (an incredible average score for Metacritic) while user reviews are very low at 3.8. I’ve never seen such a discrepancy on any review site, which unfortunately appears to be representative of the worsening divide in our country. With so many 0 user scores insinuating/alleging Jeff’s hate, racism and vitriol, it is clear, and sad, that so much hate, ignorance, divisiveness and racism exists - and from the very persons writing those reviews. Our country is definitely in a bad place right now. Our democracy is in jeopardy and it seems to be worsening, which is scary and potentially life-changing and life-threatening for all of us. God help us all!… Expand

It's hard to be sure if what you're trying to say with a film is something that needs to be said, but if you look at the user reviews on this site and they are mostly 0s, you can be sure you're on the right track.

Just more racist vitriol coming out of Hollywood to fuel tensions between the middle class while the rich get richer.

The movie is basically an old racist guy calling everyone else racist for doing a lot of the same stuff he's doing, while conveniently glossing over facts from history and current times that would make a lot of his points asinine. YouThe movie is basically an old racist guy calling everyone else racist for doing a lot of the same stuff he's doing, while conveniently glossing over facts from history and current times that would make a lot of his points asinine. You already know the type who's gonna be celebrating this movie; then you'll have everyone else who lives in reality seeing this for what it is: More hate propaganda directed at the easily led people in this country who choose to live in some gloomy fantasy land where everything is racist and the only way to stop it is to be an insufferable hypocrite. This movie is as divisive as it gets and does nothing to help the issue they claim to address. Just reading the nauseating reviews from critics should be enough of a red flag, but if you choose to sit through this vapid, braindead film made by a bitter old hypocrite like I forced myself to, make sure your phone has full battery so you can retreat from the backwards BS overflowing from this out of touch movie.… Expand

Tired, inaccurate, ignorant, regurgitated drivel some continue to teach to those who are without the ability to think.

A waste of time. Poor acting. A miserable and squeezed-out plot. It's a shame to shoot such a thing nowadays.

Not nearly as overtly racist as Everything's Gonna Be All White, but still in the same ballpark. The same tired leftist crap posing as anyi-racism, yet opting for the new racism.
