I am a ethnically ambiguous latina. I am half Mexican, half Costa Rican, but always get mistaken for middle eastern so this premise intrigued me. Right away though, this film is a mess. I commend Rebecca Hall's efforts to honor her own history in wanting to acknowledge the black in her family but if you're gonna cast black actresses that pass for white, these two ain't it. You need a meghan markle type, ESPECIALLY for the Tessa Thompson role. Thompson is CLEARLY black. I can't blame Hall for the story. She's working off a book, but it was just silly. All of it. It didn't make sense, it felt disjointed. It felt like two different movies. If that was the point, congrats. If not, whoops!
