The movie wasn’t about understanding cultural differences from both sides, though that’s what it purports to be. It would have been great if that’s what it did. Instead, it was essentially about not understanding black culture while denigrating Jewish culture. Joking about how Jews play up the holocaust for sympathy plays into the worst antisemitic tropes, for example. Amira’s family never attempted to understand Ezra‘s family. And Ezra’s families attempt to understand Amira‘s family was cringe-worthy.
