Luce's reviews

This film has a lot to toss at you. It implies that women who say they have been raped are possibly liars with a hidden agenda; it implies that White parents adopting Black children are doing so out of guilt or the desire to be seen as woke; it implies that said Black children may be harboring a dangerous penchant for violence under the façade of being ?one of the good ones.? And it does absolutely nothing useful with any of this besides shoehorning these elements into the thriller genre.

A deeply smart film about race and expectations.?Luce? is about complex people, characters whose motives feel like they?re shifting and sliding depending on the situation. It reminded me of early Mamet work although with a commentary on race he could never attempt. All of this, and it?s got one of the best ensemble performances of Sundance 2019. This is one to watch for.
