When I saw the 5.9 on imdb but higher critic score, I thought this movie simply got good reviews from the critics because the critics liked that it brought up a real-life issue that needed to be delved into and explored, but that it was boring to the audience who might not care about social issues as much, but now after watching it. Honestly I loved the music, all the scenes, the complexity of the situation the main characters find them in, I loved the ending, and I loved the characters. In addition to being a wonderful social commentary, it's also a wonderful film and story in general. Fortunately this movie provides a narrative that can help one consider the issue of racial bias. 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).

Russell Hornsby, as StarrвЂ™s reformed gang-banger dad, is similarly commanding.Beautiful, thought-provoking, well-crafted gem-thank you to everyone involved in making this wonderful film. At each turn, Stenberg is utterly magnetic, able to nimbly hop from sitcom lightness to wrenching emotion.

WhatвЂ™s more, as StarrвЂ™s status as a sole witness leaves her alienated from her school friends (and brings the attention of both Issa RaeвЂ™s Black Lives Matter activist and Anthony MackieвЂ™s menacing local druglord), the film forgoes easy answers about assimilation and the different forms racism can take. Director George Tillman Jr ( Notorious) renders both the shooting and StarrвЂ™s ensuing grief with an unvarnished rawness. ItвЂ™s here that The Hate U Give truly impresses with its unflinching power and admirable complexity. And the lightness of these early moments increases the impact when - as he drives her home from a party - StarrвЂ™s childhood friend Khalil (Algee Smith) is shot by a policeman during a traffic stop. But an able cast (including The DeuceвЂ™s Dominique Fishback as StarrвЂ™s wayward Garden Heights friend) help keep things bouncing along. ThereвЂ™s a thinkpiece-ready bluntness to these establishing scenes, as they introduce us to StarrвЂ™s family, her white boyfriend (KJ Apa) and the subtle prejudice in her white friendsвЂ™ repeated attempts to be вЂњstreetвЂќ. The film forgoes easy answers about assimilation and the different forms racism can take. Starr Carter ( Amandla Stenberg from, funnily enough, The Hunger Games) is a black teenager who, as her narration tells us, has grown adept at oscillating between two selves the street-smart character she shows her black friends in her Garden Heights neighbourhood and the peppy, meek girl she plays for the benefit of white private school pals who wonвЂ™t accept her if she acts вЂњtoo ghettoвЂќ. And it only serves to amplify the effect of a genuinely dark, stunningly bold and utterly vital look at race relations in modern America.Д«ased on US first-time author Angie ThomasвЂ™s 2017 bestseller (which, in a nod to the urgency of its themes, has gone from page to screen in just over 18 months), the core story is an impressively deft melding of the personal and the political. ThereвЂ™s no such protective distance in The Hate U Give. But, generally, these stories play out in speculative sci-fi futures or worlds touched by fantasy and magic. Historically, Young Adult blockbuster successes have been famed for the unexpected darkness of their subject matter, whether itвЂ™s the dystopian ritual slaughter of The Hunger Games or the, um, dystopian ritual slaughter of The Maze Runner.
