Entertainment Reviews:
A timely and important look at black identity and how it's informed by by stereotypes in the media

TheWrap
Rating: 8/10 --
Behind those three big, inciting words is a film that's as comedic as it is confrontational and as universal as it is intimate, a new-school satire about black identity that's more inclusive than exclusive.

Way Too Indie
Perhaps the best thing Dear White People will do, like Go Fish before it, is to become a gateway for films and television in the same vein.

Rating: 3/5 --
As enjoyable and refreshing as it is, there's a certain bite lacking in the delivery.
Little White Lies
Rating: 4.5/5 --
Dear White People is sharp, entertaining and probably the coolest film of LFF 2014.

Rating: 4/5 --
Where it scores big is its wealth of ideas-visual, emotional, cultural-and its deep well of bitter, voice-of-experience rage

Product Description:
A satirical portrait of race relations in early 21st-century America, writer/director Justin Simien's playfully perceptive feature debut tells the story of a biracial Winchester University student whose controversial radio show sparks a media frenzy of epic proportions. When Samantha White (Tessa Thompson) begins her radio program by declaring that white people will now be required to have two black friends in order to avoid appearing racist (and that drug dealers don't count), she immediately catches the attention of the all-black residential hall that is being forced out of existence due to diversification. Subsequently elected president of the hall, Samantha becomes the subject of a reality show that deals with racial issues. Meanwhile, the Winchester University's all-white student newspaper staff mistakenly assumes that young black outcast Lionel Higgins (Tyler James Williams) is an expert on black culture, and recruits him to report on the brewing controversy.
