Review of Breaking (2022) by Kyle Smith for Wall Street Journal — 26 Aug 2022
Films about race too often take the easy way out, which tends to yield schematic characters, grandstanding dialogue and thematic stridency; filmmakers seem more interested in emphasizing that they’re on the side of the angels than in confronting the messiness of reality.
Breaking doesn’t patronize the audience with such oversimplifications.
