Secretly I had hoped for a better, sharper and funnier film after the endless series of commercials made for it by the Daily Wire hosts, not least Matt Walsh himself. It remains impressive that they managed to have this edgy mockumentary play in the largest cinema chain in the US, but I don't think it really deserves it. The production value is low all in all and Walsh is not a good actor or improviser.
In any case, it was necessary that the far-left race hustlers were taken to task, but for those who are aware of the woke ideology, nothing they say here comes as a shock or surprise. The best scene is without a doubt how that awful Robin DiAngelo, whose cringe-inducing book I have read White Fragility, is persuaded to hand a few notes from her handbag to a random black person, as a way of 'repair'. How stupid can you be hahaha. If I were her, I would have deleted all my social media accounts after the trailer. Unfortunately, the humor was a bit disappointing. Walsh herself made the comparison with Borat, but that is still a whole different level. The nice thing is that the liberal Sacha Baron Cohen always chooses to kick down and embarrass average Americans, while Walsh targets upstart diversity gurus here. The fact that there were hardly any reviews of it in the legacy media proves that he really hurt them. They didn't even try to undermine the documentary, but chose to ignore it completely in the hope that as few people as possible would see that the emperor has no clothes.
So yes, a much-needed film that, in my opinion, could have been a little louder and with more humor.

Yes, of course. Matt Walsh is a political commentator who makes no effort to use his self-righteousness and perceived intellectual superiority to ridicule those who view the world differently. He previously tackled the gender identity debate in What Is A Woman? with the incorrect assumption that sex and gender are the same thing. So. Here he downplays racism by stating that there are people who capitalize on the created need for political correctness. That may well be true, but Walsh provides no concrete evidence. His ego is apparently so inflated that he fails to see that he is mainly ridiculing himself by alternately pretending to be an annoying workshop attendee and a DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusivity) specialist. An extremely grim video by an extremely annoying little man.
