Dear White People

Directed by James Williams & Adriana Serrano

Dear White People is a provocative satire of race relations in the age of Obama. Writer/director Justin Simien follows a group of African American students as they navigate campus life and racial politics at a predominantly white college in a sharp and funny feature film debut. Earning comparison with both Whit Stillman and Spike Lee, this is a thrillingly-sharp witted and prescient work.

“[An] assured and eloquent indie.” 4/5
Empire

“While it veers toward smugness and self-satisfaction at times, the Spike-Lee-lite exercise nonetheless heralds a fresh and funny new voice on the scene in writer-director Justin Simien …”
