Tyrel (2018)

Tyrel: Directed by Sebastián Silva. With Christopher Abbott, Trust Arancio, Nicolas Arze, Max Born. Tyler, a sole black man, attends an otherwise all-white weekend of drunken bro debauchery on a birthday trip to a cabin in the Catskills.

“One of those films that looked interesting by the plot but comes up short in the end. That being said, there are good performances by the lead Jason Mitchell, Christopher Abbott u0026amp; the great Caleb Landry Jones of Get Out fame. Tyler his name in the film feels out of place by how a bunch of guys act when drunk and partying for ones birthday and some choice words taken out of context can come off creepy while others were in reality poor taste to some degree. Still, the other guys at the get together are not far right or even textbook republicans but a group of guys being guys and acting dumb while not over analyzing things, which are done today constantly. These guys are anti-Trump and essentially a bunch of white guys being guys in and only environment. No ill will is hanging around ourside of Tyler who just feels out of place. Mitchell sells this well. Anyone who is a guy knows things let loose when around each other. Comparing this to Get Out is a bit of a cop out even though Tyler feels like an outsider until he makes a fool of himself later on. I take away the decent to good performances but not much else. A better script would have helped but this is not a waste of time if you just take in the film in itself.”
