The reviews have been brutal for this film. Which is in a strong contrast to the reaction I have seen online to the film (at least folks I follow).

I was wondering if part of that negative reaction from critics, aside from the film savaging critics so much, is that the movie would be super off-putting if that type of arguing is foreign to you.

I recognize its toxic, and I hope to god I don't ever have to argue like that again, but there was a time it would have been super normal to me. Which to be honest, is something I appreciated about the movie. Malcolm got to be an angry black man without having to be a criminal, martyr or an obvious "villain".
