Black Magic for White Boys

It's not streamlined, but somehow it's still graceful, a convoluted landscape rather than a portrait, touching on hot button topics like men and abortion, racial profiling and gentrification, as well as more universal themes like emotional laziness.

a sharp, emotionally cutting and very funny film about power: who owns it and the impact of how they choose to wield it.

Sprawls out in pleasant if not exactly compelling fashion, raising various real-world social concerns without having a great deal to say about them.

For those who grok his amiably misanthropic, offhand brand of humor, it will comprise another satisfyingly idiosyncratic chapter in a singular career...

Tukel gleefully smashes his meaty paws on every hot button he can get them to, and dear reader, I laughed. I laughed so very hard.

Black Magic for White Boys tries to be funny, but most of the jokes don't really land very well. Any of the dialogue that's deliberately politically incorrect just seems too self-aware to be genuinely funny.

Fast and chattery, this New York comedy has a huge ensemble and a plot that feels like it's spiralling out of control from the start.

Beneath the surface eccentricities, this sharply observed ensemble comedy features a potent subtext about gentrification and socioeconomic disparities in contemporary New York.

It's messy, but also unpredictable and appealingly bizarre.
