Review of White Boy Rick (2018) by Monica Castillo for RogerEbert.com — 09 Sep 2018
Though it's a well-done family drama, White Boy Rick is a half-told story that only lightly incorporates the deeper issues of systemic injustice. The black characters feel shortchanged in comparison to their white co-stars; even Rick’s closest friend, Boo (RJ Cyler), feels unremarkable.
Despite these flaws, the performances in the movie are strong.
