Am I Racist? Ratings & Reviews
- tellumJanuary 22, 2025Matt Walsh is what happens when you emasculate Bill O’Reilly. *This review has been edited because incels are fragile*
- Randy HoopesOctober 29, 2024Best movie of the year.
- dhmo2February 6, 2025If you don't like this movie, you are laughingstock
- Charles Hilton2d agoDoesn't have enough punch behind. Good production values, a few good laughs a long the way, but it feels as though there some things that are missing.
- George.GuguiJuly 22, 2025Amazingly done, the stupidity in some people is insane, but that was the whole point of the documentary. Had a good time watching.
- CrossCutCriticApril 30, 2025White Guilt, Weaponized Identity, and the Gospel According to Awkward Silence --- If Whoopi Goldberg, Jordan Peterson, and the ghost of George Orwell had a three-way custody battle over a screenplay, it might look something like Am I a Racist? This is not a movie. It’s a minefield wrapped in a TED Talk disguised as a dinner party that devolves into interpretive dance. And somehow… it works. Mostly. If you like your satire with the subtlety of a marching band playing Nina Simone, this one’s for you. --- The cast is a murderers' row of fragile egos and simmering agendas: A white progressive professor who speaks fluent academic shame but hasn't spoken to a Black person off-campus since the Obama years. A conservative podcaster whose idea of nuance is "I'm not racist, but..." followed by actual racism. A TikTok activist so chronically online she makes Greta Thunberg look like a Luddite. And somewhere in the middle of it all: a barista. Who might be the only person in the entire film who has actually met a person of color without drafting a thesis about it. --- Every scene is a blood sport. Every line of dialogue sounds like it was written during a panic attack in a Whole Foods parking lot. And yet, beneath the razor-edged one-liners and beautifully timed meltdowns, there’s something… honest. Not tender. Not yet. But aching for it. --- Because here’s the truth no one in the movie is allowed to say: Everyone is terrified. Not of being wrong — but of being irreparably stained. Because once the “racist” label sticks, there’s no confessional booth. No baptism. No “Go, and sin no more.” Just cancellation. Exile. Silence. --- Which brings me, against all better judgment and possibly social suicide, to… the cross. Yes, that cross. The one we were supposed to have moved on from in our enlightenment, but which stubbornly keeps showing up in places like this — right when we need it most. --- Because Am I a Racist? isn’t asking for clarity. It’s crying out for absolution. And not the kind you get from reposting an infographic. The real kind. The messy kind. The kind that says: > Yes, you’ve failed. Spectacularly. But failure isn’t the end of you. There is a mercy deeper than your hashtags. A love wider than your mistakes. A grace strong enough to carry your shame without demanding your self-erasure. --- None of the characters find that grace. They’re too busy performing. But you, dear viewer? You just might. If you can stop laughing long enough. Or cringing. Or rewording your next social media post in your head. --- Am I a Racist? is not a masterpiece. It’s a mirror. And it’s cracked. But maybe that’s the only kind of mirror that shows us who we really are. And if there’s still a God watching this mess with any interest, I suspect He’s not keeping score. I suspect He’s waiting for us to stop performing… and start repenting. With joy. ---
- Manuel FrangisApril 8, 2025I 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.
- TroutSnifferMarch 29, 2025Hilarious and a breath of fresh air on the issues occurring in the US and in the world. I wish Matt would have convinced Robin to give up her house or car as reparations to his coworker. It shows how fake and nonsensical these people are with their ideologies.
- Hipster ZOMBIEJanuary 24, 2025Conservative personality, Matt Walsh, returns with another thought provoking and hilarious documentary that takes aim at DEI and all the absurdity that surrounds it.
- Tyler BrownMarch 8, 2025Another home run by Matt Walsh
- jwalkinFebruary 24, 2025is the racism in the room with us
- martin.575November 14, 2024Kinda meh…
- parktool69November 9, 2024confusing
- Schmitt HouseNovember 2, 2024Matt came off annoying and intrusive in a few of the encounters which distracted from his subjects. Still very funny. Many times we were crying from laughing
