somethg—somethg important—to say: ’s hard for black stunts on a predomantly whe mp. As a black stunt, if you’re polilly volved, you bee a target for racists; if you’re lookg to f , you ve nscensn; if you’re pursug succs, you risk sacrificg your valu; if you’re merely searchg for your own path, you seem to belong nowhere and are even more vulnerable. If you’re black and gay, ’s all the more difficult. And if you’re whe—first of all, try to listen.</p><p class="paywall">Havg somethg important to say isn’t the same thg as makg an important movie, or even a good one. “Dear Whe People” is a sklike film that nceals s schema unr a faiar naturalism. Its ostensibly thentic characters are nstcted om the tras that f the needs of the plot. The film hts at fascatg directns that Simien didn’t pursue and wild energi that he filters out. But opacy, ambiguy, and the risk of slippg off-msage are all refully and blandly avoid by the movie’s lack of athetic self-qutng. “Dear Whe People” isn’t extreme s artifice, ’s not extreme s emotnal tensy and the plexy of s characters, ’s not extreme the diagnosis of societal nflicts, and ’s certaly not extreme s suggtn for their rolutn.</p><div><div class="ConsumerMarketgUnThemedWrapper-iUTMTf jssHut nsumer-marketg-un nsumer-marketg-un--article-mid-ntent" role="prentatn" aria-hidn="te"><div class="nsumer-marketg-un__slot nsumer-marketg-un__slot--article-mid-ntent nsumer-marketg-un__slot---ntent"></div><div class="journey-un"></div></div></div><p class="paywall">By “extreme” I don’t mean polilly extreme. Rather, as a work of art, “Dear Whe People” unteracts and unterbalanc s tennci orr to melt s athetic inty to somethg forcedly charmg and likable. Its lack of ser polil nontatn—not necsarily radil activism, but maybe passnate ratnalism, as seen, for stance, Frerick Wiseman’s “At Berkeley”—leav s sympathetic viewers thkg that their sympathy is enough, that the mere existence of the film, and their enthiasm for , is a mark of social progrs.</p><p class="paywall">That’s why the movie exus a whiff of piety, and why wrg about feels like nsirg talkg pots rather than nsirg the experience of the characters—or of the filmmaker— relatn to the polics and graed social habs of race relatns. It’s all the more surprisg that viewers who, as I do, enthiastilly endorse the liberal nsens and hope for s extensn would fd fort a movie that stays wh s bubble. The mark of a polil film that pursu actual progrs is one that risks burstg the bubble of acknowledged progrsive nsens orr to renfigure more wily and more lastgly. “Dear Whe People” don’t risk ntroversy—rather, simulat ntroversy.</p><p class="paywall">The tle of the movie om the tle of a rad show, a seri of epigrammatic, lculatedly provotive monologu that a Wchter stunt, Sam Whe (Tsa Thompson), livers on the school’s statn. She’s one of four black stunts at the center of the film, another one of whom is Troy Fairbanks (Brandon P Bell), a big man on mp and the head of the tradnally black rince hall, which is beg broken up through the universy’s “randomizatn” of hog. Opposg that plan, Sam ns for stunt print agast Troy, whose father (Dennis Haysbert), the an of stunts, is the lifelong rival of the school’s print (Peter Syvertsen), a whe man. Meanwhile, the gay and nerdy Lnel Higgs (Tyler Jam Williams), an unherald wrer for a mor mp paper, is reced by the major school paper’s whe edor to report on the dorm ntroversy and to profile Sam. Co Conners (Teyonah Parris), who plays down her South Si background qut of mastream succs and rapid fame, is egged on by a black realy-TV producer to stir up trouble.</p><div data-attr-viewport-monor="le-recirc" class="le-recirc-wrapper le-recirc-observer-target-1 viewport-monor-anchor"></div><p class="paywall">There’s also a nspicuo villa—Kurt Fletcher (Kyle Gallner), the son of the school’s print, who is also the head of the Lampoon-like humor magaze. The magaze hosts an annual party that’s the talk of the mp and that mak natnal news. This year, rponse to the ntroversy sparked by Sam, and orr to reap the attentn that he knows would follow, he cis to hold a blackface party. That offensive prank is the masprg of the movie.</p><div class="Contaer-bkChBi byNLHx"></div><p class="paywall">Whout offerg too many spoilers, the ultimate nostm of “Dear Whe People” is moratn—the policized stunt should bee ls so, the apolil should bee more engaged, those terted personal advancement should nsir the muny, those followg the expectatns set by their fay should follow their own unsel. There’s one exceptn: a scene of vlence that is more or ls a movie self, but which is swept unr the g, kept as a notable event that, though wily reported, prov to be of mor nsequence. Dpe the turbulence of the climactic actn, the movie sends viewers home on a puff of palliativ.</p><p class="paywall">The film narrows s characters to walkg Post-Its of issu, even while, for the most part—thanks to the exertns of the fe st—they e off as dividuals, yet on whose pth of experience is systematilly kept out of the movie. The subjectivy of Simien’s film is limed; there are no, so to speak, ee radils s characters’ nscns. Simien’s approach to his story and his characters reproduc precisely the state of media that his character Sam, a stunt filmmaker, cri— flattens the dividualy and the idsyncrasy of the people the movie and renrs them reprentative.</p><p class="paywall">For all the film’s suggtn that Sam, wh her provotns, is an “anarchist,” s real subject is the ntrol of disorrly impuls, the improvement of systems, and the tighteng of admistrative orr—all of which may well be a good thg, but that are the oppose of anarchism. That’s why, strangely, for all the discsn of race the movie, what through most clearly is the procs of socializatn that tak place at a llege like Wchter, the formatn of an éle, of polics and media alike, by way of a procs that’s as much about acplishment as appearance, about self-prentatn as about achievement.</p></div></div></div><div class="GridItem-buujkM fVLMby grid--em grid-layout__asi"><asi class="PersistentAsiWrapper-VGrR daRVRt persistent-asi" style="posn:absolute;top:to;height:to" data-ttid="PersistentAsiWrapper"><div class="StickyBoxWrapper-jfYB jxBcTH sticky-box"><div class="StickyBoxPrimary-dzWDWL cdhYoN sticky-box__primary"><div class="AdWrapper-dQtivb fZrssQ ad ad--rail"><div class="ad__slot ad__slot--rail" data-no-id="7k3x"></div></div><div class="ConsumerMarketgUnThemedWrapper-iUTMTf jssHut nsumer-marketg-un nsumer-marketg-un--display-rail" role="prentatn" aria-hidn="te"><div class="nsumer-marketg-un__slot nsumer-marketg-un__slot--display-rail"></div><div class="journey-un"></div></div></div><div class="StickyBoxPlaceholr-grPmrg dxAvXx"></div></div></asi></div></div><div class="RowWrapper-UmqTg HEhan full-bleed-ad row-mid-ntent-ad"><div class="StickyMidContentAdWrapper-fSBzwl drzyIa ad-stickymidntent"><div class="AdWrapper-dQtivb fZrssQ ad ad--mid-ntent should-hold-space"><div class="ad__slot ad__slot--mid-ntent" data-no-id="b0n3vq"></div></div></div></div><div class="GridWrapper-cAzTTK kHBDeH grid grid-margs grid-ems-2 ArticlePageChunksGrid-hfxa bjczjj grid-layout--adrail narrow wi-adrail"><div class="GridItem-buujkM stRKV grid--em grid-layout__ntent"><div class="BodyWrapper-kufPGa bDyAMU body body__ntaer article__body" data-journey-hook="client-ntent" data-ttid="BodyWrapper"><div class="body__ner-ntaer"><p class="paywall">The fuel of the story, the subject that provis s forward motn, is ambn: the possibily that Wchter offers stunts to acplish thgs llege that will immediately have ronance the wir world, to set themselv up for rapid profsnal succs. They know—and those who don’t know, quickly learn—that, bee they go to Wchter, the ey of the world are upon them and such quick regnn is possible. What’s never discsed, though ’s prent throughout, is the st of a Wchter tn and the rewards that brgs. The film only hts at the unterpart to the polics of race—social class and enomic equaly—and at the possibily that the age of social media amplifi those differenc stat, as well as the value of an Ivy-like diploma.</p><p class="paywall">Simien has taken his p observatns and experienc, his dac imaggs and troubled visns, and cut and planed and sand and polished them to orrly parts that stack up jt so. Though his movie is filled wh issu that map onto the wir world of polil nflicts, s nstctn is so airtight that as a sort of documentary relief when, terspersed wh the film’s end creds, Simien clus actual news clippgs and onle page views about real-life blackface parti and other mory-meang pranks—not bee they’re any way pleasant to ntemplate but bee the unflected glimps at the monstro dogs spark cursy left unsatisfied by “Dear Whe People,” about how the hell such thgs happen, wh all the unly and wild and troublg and ugly forc behd them.</p><p class="paywall">On the other hand, few young filmmakers put so much substance to a first feature. Even if s rults are talkg pots, they’re substantial on. There’s a wi and strong range of tennci and impuls ntaed—and rtraed— “Dear Whe People,” which is why, though the movie self is a perfect example of the very phenomenon reprents, Simien himself reveals a talent and a temperament that are the very stuff of art. Though “Dear Whe People” plays like a liberal-tablishment llg rd, I’m impatiently awag Simien’s films to e—films which he lets himself himself and his characters, his creative imagatn and his sense of form go—where he unleash his artistic tennci rather than nstrag and rencilg them.</p></div></div></div><div class="GridItem-buujkM fVLMby grid--em grid-layout__asi"><div class="StickyBoxWrapper-jfYB jxBcTH sticky-box"><div class="StickyBoxPrimary-dzWDWL cdhYoN sticky-box__primary"><div class="AdWrapper-dQtivb fZrssQ ad ad--rail"><div class="ad__slot ad__slot--rail" data-no-id="07uxt7"></div></div><div class="ConsumerMarketgUnThemedWrapper-iUTMTf jssHut nsumer-marketg-un nsumer-marketg-un--display-rail" role="prentatn" aria-hidn="te"><div class="nsumer-marketg-un__slot nsumer-marketg-un__slot--display-rail"></div><div class="journey-un"></div></div></div><div class="StickyBoxPlaceholr-grPmrg dxAvXx"></div></div></div></div></div><div class="GridWrapper-cAzTTK kHBDeH grid grid-margs grid-ems-2 PaywallInleBarrierWhWrapperGrid-fyrGfS kLQIUk grid-layout--adrail narrow wi-adrail"><div class="GridItem-buujkM stRKV grid--em grid-layout__ntent"><div class="body body__le-barrier article__body"><div class="ntaer ntaer--body"><div class="ntaer--body-ner"><asi class="PaywallInleBarrierWrapper-iBnuqk lfXXa-D" data-ttid="PaywallInleBarrierWrapper"><div class="ConsumerMarketgUnThemedWrapper-iUTMTf jssHut nsumer-marketg-un nsumer-marketg-un--paywall-le-barrier" role="prentatn" aria-live="pole" aria-hidn="te"><div class="nsumer-marketg-un__slot nsumer-marketg-un__slot--paywall-le-barrier"></div><div class="journey-un"></div></div></asi></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="GridWrapper-cAzTTK kHBDeH grid grid-margs grid-ems-2 ContentWrapperGrid-fvkmBv brYtrA grid-layout--adrail narrow wi-adrail"><div class="GridItem-buujkM stRKV grid--em grid-layout__ntent"><div class="body body__ntaer"><div class="ntaer ntaer--body"><div class="ntaer--body-ner"></div></div></div></div></div></div></article><div class="ContentFooterWrapper-jVNdRG dTJkpP ArticlePageContentFooterGrid-ccsXYy eMZRHU article-body__footer"><div class="RowWrapper-UmqTg HEhan"><div class="GridWrapper-cAzTTK kHBDeH grid grid-margs grid-ems-2 grid-layout--adrail narrow wi-adrail"><div class="GridItem-buujkM stRKV grid--em grid-layout__ntent"></div></div></div><div class="RowWrapper-UmqTg HEhan"><div class="GridWrapper-cAzTTK kHBDeH grid grid-margs grid-ems-2 grid-layout--adrail narrow wi-adrail"><div class="GridItem-buujkM stRKV grid--em grid-layout__ntent"><div class="ContributorsWrapper-eNpWFu GWFsc ntributors" data-ttid="Contributors"><div class="ContributorBWrapper-bnVHbt gMon"><div class="ContributorBAvatar-bIGTqf eMWbvj"><a href="/ntributors/richard-brody"><span class="SpanWrapper-umhxW jvZaPI rponsive-asset"><picture class="RponsiveImagePicture-cWuUZO dUOtEa rponsive-image"><source media="(max-width: 767px)" srcSet=" 120w, 240w" siz="100vw"/><source media="(m-width: 768px)" srcSet=" 120w, 240w" siz="100vw"/><img alt="" class="RponsiveImageContaer-eybHBd fptoWY rponsive-image__image" src="></picture></span></a></div><div class="ContributorBContent-ubQdr jZTSSi"><div class="ContributorBHear-ledood XOIEx"></div><div class="ContributorBB-fBolsO giFhKz"><a href="/ntributors/richard-brody">Richard Brody</a> began wrg for The New Yorker 1999.
