White

About This Movie

So, 'White' (2017) is this quirky comedy that dives into some heavy themes while keeping a lighthearted vibe. The premise is pretty wild—this guy, a white man, finds himself in the Transition Centre Plus after dying from food poisoning on a cruise. And then he learns he can't be white in his next life, which leads to some absurd yet thought-provoking discussions about race and privilege. The pacing’s interesting, with a mix of fast, witty dialogue and slower, more contemplative moments. It feels like a blend of social commentary and comedy, which makes it distinctive. The performances are solid, bringing a genuine feel to the absurdity. It’s not what you’d expect, but that’s what makes it worth checking out.
