Tyrel

A birthday party in the Catskills. It's frosty, dangerous and a long way from civilization. We're familiar with this setting from the movie  Winter's Bone, but it might seem that there would be less of it in Sebastián Silva's story of social injustice and horror than in Debra Granik's film. The birthday boy and his guests are well-off. They like to eat well and have a good time. Although they are white and part of the middle class, they hate, rather than respect, Donald Trump. They try to avoid racism and intolerance, though they aren't doing a great job, and their politically incorrect jokes have an impact on Tyler, a black kid who came to the party in the company of the birthday boy, and who feels unsure of himself in this group of strangers. He is keenly aware of racism, but this sort is subtle and out of place, so the mood of the horror grows slowly. Once the emotions reach their climax, will the situation get out of control? Will there be a moment when we all want to shout: Tyler, get out!!!
