Aside from taking my word for it, there are a few different ways you can decide whether my new film “Am I Racist?” is worth seeing in theaters. You can look at the audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, where we’re sitting at 99% audience rating — what Rotten Tomatoes calls “Verified Fresh.” That means that 99% of the people who actually watched the movie — the verified audience — liked it. So, you can look at that or you can look at the box office returns, which put us in the top 5 of all films in the genre released in the past decade, and the top 4 this weekend. Or you could watch the interviews and trailers and behind-the-scenes videos.
But if you really want to know how effective the film is, there’s an even better, much simpler option. You can just take a look at what professional, mainstream movie critics are saying about the film. You can go to websites like Time and The New Yorker and IndieWire and Rolling Stone and The New York Times and the AP, head over to their movie reviews section, and search for “Am I Racist?”. And what you’ll find is … absolutely nothing. None of these outlets have said a word about the film. In fact, as of today, there is not a single mainstream movie critic who has reviewed “Am I Racist?”, two days after the film’s opening weekend.
