For the most part, Walsh’s gags work throughout the film. Like most political docs, the open-minded will benefit the most from what Walsh has to say, while Walsh’s DEI targets will have the most to complain about

Hilarious take of today's woke culture. If you enjoy humor and aren't overcome with rage at normalcy then this movie is for you.
Mostly frustrating and if at all hilarious, Matt Walsh's film about a timely topic in America is a snooze fest. When his humor hits, it gets extremely repetitive. Am I Racist? feels like a significant step down from superior movies like Borat. If you're looking to own the libs and melt your brain into mush, this movie is for you!
It was not as good as “what is a woman?”, and the beginning is a bit hard to watch, like impractical jokers, it’s funny but cringe. About 1/3 into the movie it becomes hilarious, and by the halfway point begins to be one the most hilarious films I’ve ever seen in my life. The parts where he goes into the hillbilly south, and then the parts where he makes a renowned career politician give his black assistant cash, was so hilarious.
Hilarious movie that exposes the "anti racism" money making industry as both fake and profitable. The DEI weridos of the world are exposed as being literal self taught snake oil "experts" making up foolish rules as they go. The movie really is about exposing the truth of today
This really fails at being a thought provoking, compelling documentary like "What is a Woman". The strength of its predecessor was Matt Walsh letting people talk until they quickly unravel into their own nonsensical discourse, and using that opportunity to pose a few more rational questions delivering the final blow to the interviewees. It created a dynamic in which the hypocrisy and lunacy of the pro-trans/anti-women argument came from the people supporting it, not from Matt. Here though, the film mostly presents itself as a series of sketches in which Matt constantly interrupts the people he showcases. They're never let the opportunity to fully express their insane world views, because Matt seems to feel obligated to insert himself at all times to create unease. Why always bring back the spotlight on himself? It creates a forced dynamic that is ultimately void of substance, which is unfortunately neither funny nor informative. At first it almost felt like this approach was adopted out of necessity, because Matt & team couldn't make the extreme opinions emerge like they did last time, but with segments like the seminar, the women's dinner, and the Robin DiAngelo interview, it is clear that they just missed the mark at creating a compelling message with the material these opportunities provided. Very disappointing. Although I did love the black dude saying that racism is bs and that love is all that's needed. Quite heartwarming (and true)!
An entertaining, thought-provoking documentary that shines a light on the hypocrisy of DEI and those who are more concerned about making money off of white guilt than truly resolving inequality.
Horribly boring and unfunny film, watch Southpark instead.,....................
This is laugh-out-loud hilarious. It's dry and a perfect skewer of the professional race hustlers who have cropped up from Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson's example. Seeing those people exposed for what they honestly believed was equal parts hilarious, pitiful, and scary. Of course no professional critic is brave enough to review it, they might not get invited to parties if they did.
1 hour into it and I love it!!! The best part is him just talking to the Bikers and black people in a lower class town that say the opposite of what all the paid experts said.
This edgelord crap isn't worth the server space it takes up. Boring and lame.
While I’m at least peripherally aware of Matt Walsh and what this movie was about, I wasn’t exactly raring to go see him expose ideology grifters. When rumblings started about how funny it was, I raised an eyebrow. I couldn’t see myself being anything more than annoyed and angry about these idiots. I am pleased to admit, I was wrong. Matt and the team behind this film were able to communicate a satirical journey Matt goes through regarding intersectional identity politics. He never confronts anyone; he just lets them talk (for a fee of course, which he shows) and prompts logical/fair questions that reveal who these people truly are and how their ‘ideas’ are nothing more than a grift for power and money. It’s not without flaws. Some of the humor is that ‘cringe’ material that will turn many off, but it’s thankfully minimal. The ‘story’ feels tacked on as an excuse to string the documentary together rather than anything of substance, not a deal breaker, but don’t expect great writing here. Finally, I feel Matt could’ve gone harder acknowledging racism isn’t gone and may have just changed targets. Overall, I recommend this to everyone. It’s not Matt or Daily Wire pushing any of their own ideology in any way. It’s just Matt interviewing people and they expose themselves in often hilarious ways.
“Am I Racist?” is an amusing documentary that features Matt Walsh on a largely whimsical journey to educate himself on the in’s and out’s of racial discrimination. As far as the comedic elements were concerned, the humor was witty and well-placed; serving as both an adept tool for moving the plot along and extra icing in terms of the overall presentation. The story (though intentionally hyperbolic in nature) was more coherent and streamlined than most $100,000,000+ movies that have fallen by the wayside in recent years, and the through-line message was spot on. For entertainment value alone, the film is worthy of a review. Moreover, it’s a thorough presentation for those looking to learn a thing or two about one of the greatest modern blights few are willing to address.
Fantastic movie.. really funny and really cringe.
Very dull film. It tries too hard to be funny and fails to earnestly investigate the titular quandary at the heart of its narrative.
The most woke film ever made......................................................
The movie was well-made, and the storytelling is pretty straightforward. I believe Matt Walsh treated everyone with respect, but it was possible to laugh at some contradictions.
People like Igl00man are too scared to address the problem that is DEI. It inherently is racist itself, yet pretending to expose racism. That's what Matt Walsh is trying to expose in this film. If you're a leftist, you'll probably hate this movie because it's calling out these types of people. The left are the true grifters. This is definitely a must watch, even if you're a bleeding heart liberal. You'll either hate this movie, or find it funny. But at least it will enlighten you a little, and maybe make you reevaluate your existence if you're a leftist.
Matt Walsh is yet another pathetically unfunny grifter, and his latest project is proof that his message is poorly thought out, and not thought provoking. Anybody giving this a high grade must either be paid off, a bot, or a troll.
how do i remove reviews? i didnt even watch this I just did it for some reason pls help
I’m so glad I knew little to nothing about this before I went. It was laugh out loud funny to me. He’s so good at dead pan in the middle of the bs. Sick funny. Spot on! He winds it up with the right grounded notion that I won’t give away. But spoiler alert: if you can’t laugh at this, then you’re too far gone to save.
