This is an incredibly reductive and silly summation of Black film. It’s straight out of the crab in the barrel notebook. Also, Juice, Boyz N The Hood, Menace II Society, Clockers, etc. are beautiful and powerful pieces of Black art.

It’s 2024. We really don’t need to keep reverting back to the same old tired and lazy criticisms of Black film. Our diverse experiences also include traumatic ones. It comes down to the perspective, execution, and humanity shown by the filmmaker. It can’t be exploitive.
@pamsson This isn’t a criticism of those works. It’s a criticism of an industry that generally only allows those types of Black-led films.
