Southside with You
Crit
Near the end of this first-date movie (about a, not ideal as a, though probably that too, though irrelevant to my purposes), I asked myself, "Would this be as moving and as funny and as charming and as thoroughly involving if it were just about two fictional young lawyers or whatever color?" And I had to admit, no, probably not.
But--and I don't bandy this clause about promiscuously--it is what it is, a chunk of somewhat fictionalized history important to where we are today, and as that, it is simply irresistible, at least to those who don't believe the president is a foreign socialist crypto-Muslim. And I'm guessing the nationwide audience among those who believe that will be less than the 7 in my audience.
