A very cleverly written story about race (and gender and sexual orientation) battles — both visible and those that play out beneath the surface — at a fictitious Ivy league type of U.S. college. The pleasure comes in watching the characters’ discomfort in navigating what is and what isn’t politically incorrect as they try to find their own places in society. A bit too clever at times, but an impressive directorial debut (Justin Simien, who also wrote the screenplay).
