Gentefied (2020–2021)
3/10
Interesting but too predictable
17 November 2021
I like the idea of the story and the family dynamics. The woke themes were a bit too pervasive. At one point an activist from the community protests a neighborhood restaurant for trying to advertise to others outside the community. What is wrong with someone outside your neighborhood patronizing a restaurant? Apparently it is traitorous to have any interaction with gentrifiers (aka "non-Latinos"). In another scene the artistic character is at a museum and makes the comment that the artist of a piece is probably a white male so that's "problematic". They also continually vilify any member of their community that has left and become successful. They too are apparently traitors. Why would you not be happy for someone that succeeded?
