Atom User Reviews for White Boy Rick
It was an okay movie. Not as hype as it seemed to be.
was a great movie. definitely a best so far of the season
I m was born in Detroit lived there most of my life! White Boy Rick brought back memories! I hope this film can change and save some young lives.
This movie was everything and nothing that I expected!! It was really really good! Great cast and acting too!
Deep emotional movie that evokes human nature.
Best film of 2018
Amazing cast! McConaughey's acting is off the charts! Lots of surprises! It grabs your heartstrings & pulls you in!
can't believe how the government treats people
Recyclable Trash
We don’t glorify rats he shouldn’t have ratted b
It’s an okay movie!
WBR was just ok. Matthew always gives a great performance.
Not knowing who Rick was this film did a great job at capturing his personal life while also making a great movie
Sick as movie
No plot
My honest opinion: I thought it was dope and there was a nice soundtrack to go along with it.
Meh
The storyline made me angry. The justice system is so messed up. Other than me hating Michigan, the acting was pretty on point
Felt like it was more about the father than a kid.
Horrible plot. Jumped time distance without explanation, no character development. Not sure what I just watched, but would rather watch paint dry... at least there is a beginning middle and end.
was miss leading, typical ending
loved it
waste of money
Didn’t know what would happen next!
Good movie
You should see it and get to know White Rick
this was an amazing movie! had me all up in the feels
true,sad,story of the reckless,realistic,polital world we live in today
could have added more
It was a fine movie. The cast was phenomenal and the movie did a good job of developing the characters. It felt a little slow especially the last third of the movie.
bad kid acting. Matthew carried the film but it took 4ever to GET TO IT!
Not exciting, pretty boring story
Well acted, well directed. Great screenplay!
Left ya in a somber mood. Decent movie. Loved seeing the 80’s attire and scenes.
wow what a movie. defiantly proked a lot of thought
previews amped it up way more then what i expected
Super #Dope film. The fact that it is a true story brings out the movie overall. Something to see. Enjoy!
Aight..just another life story in this American Dream
Just a heart wrenching tale of a kid that got used by a corrupt justice system and disregarded and hid away for thirty plus years. Sheds light on corruption in our justice system and just hurts to know the injustice done to this once bright eyed kid
I’ve watched White Boy Rick two days in a row........loved it!
Such an interesting, true story
Enjoyed it has a good story telling
Tell a good story and show real areas of Detroit, Michigan
McConaughey was the best thing about this movie. Could have been a little better
starts slow but really gets good at the end
It was funny and I didn’t mind the erratic pace but the ending ruined it for me. I will not have a pity party for a kid who actively committed crimes and built a drug network and had to serve serious time once caught when there are TONS of real life stories of INNOCENT…
Plot moved slowly. The fast paced trailer was deceiving. But good overall, would recommend you watch.
Metacritic
There’s something strangely uninvolving about White Boy Rick, despite all its claims to be a sensational true story.
Lack of focus is ultimately the undoing of sophomore feature director Yann Demange – despite crafting several compelling stand-alone sequences, he is unable to stitch everything together into a compelling whole.
Best of all is Merritt, a remarkable find who makes an indelible impression in his very first onscreen role. Giving Rick just the right mix of bravado and awkwardness, he’s like an improbable gene splice of a young Matt Dillon with a young Seth Rogen. Don’t expect him to disappear for 30 years.
