Matt Walsh goes undercover in the world of DEI, hilariously skewering the absurdity of race hustlers.

I just watched Am I Racist?, and I give it 5 out of 5 stars. This is one of the most honest and thought provoking documentaries I have seen in a while. It is not flashy or over the top. It is real, raw, and gets right to the point. It asks tough questions without forcing answers, and that is what makes it so powerful. It is about listening, learning, and being willing to look at yourself in a new way.
The whole structure of the documentary is built around real conversations. There is no big setup. It just lets people talk. Different voices, different backgrounds, and different experiences come together to explore what racism looks like, how it shows up in everyday life, and what it means to truly be anti racist. It is not a lecture. It is a space where people reflect and sometimes struggle to find the right words. That honesty makes it feel very real.
One thing I really appreciated is that it does not try to make anyone look perfect. People make mistakes. They say awkward things. They ask uncomfortable questions. And that is the point. It shows how messy and complicated these conversations can be, especially when you are trying to be honest. There are no easy answers here, and the documentary does not pretend there are. It is about sitting with the discomfort and learning from it.
The host, who leads the discussion, does a great job of guiding the conversations without making them feel controlled. They let people speak freely and follow up with thoughtful questions that push things a little deeper. It never feels like anyone is being attacked. It just feels like people are being asked to think about how they move through the world and how their actions or words might affect others.
Visually, the movie is simple, but that works. It is not about big visuals or dramatic effects. It is about people talking and being vulnerable. The camera work is steady and calm. It gives you space to actually focus on what is being said. The editing is smooth too. It connects different conversations in a way that keeps things flowing without losing any of the meaning.
There are some emotional moments in here that really stuck with me. You hear stories about personal experiences with racism, bias, and the kind of subtle stuff that people sometimes overlook. Those moments are powerful because they are not exaggerated. They are just real. You see how racism does not always look the way people think it does. Sometimes it is quiet, casual, or even unintentional. But that does not mean it is not harmful.
I give Am I Racist? 5 out of 5 stars because it is one of those films that really makes you stop and think. It is not trying to guilt trip anyone. It is just trying to open a door for people to ask themselves hard questions and listen to the answers without shutting down. Overall Am I Racist? is an important and honest documentary that takes a simple question and turns it into a meaningful conversation. It does not preach. It invites. And in doing that, it makes a real impact. I think everyone should see it, especially if you are willing to learn and grow. I know I walked away thinking about things differently, and that is what a good documentary should do.
