   Newcomer Richie Merritt owned the lead role of “White boy” Rick Wershe, and brought it to life reliving that era in the 80’s when the young 15 year old Wershe became more than a figure in Detroits history but a iconic legend. It made the movie seem more raw and realistic.

   Is 'White Boy Rick' a good movie?

   • Despite these flaws, the performances in the movie are strong: short turns by Bruce Dern, Piper Laurie and Jennifer Jason Leigh feel comedic or exhilarating. Under the cinematography of Tat Radcliffe, “White Boy Rick” hits colorfully grim notes through saturated lighting that seems to stream in through dirty fluorescents or dying street lamps.

   • Director Yann Demange ('71) seems uncertain whether to play the material as searing drama or black comedy, and so he gives up on establishing a recognizable tone altogether. White Boy Rick is a sobering and well-made look into the 80s Detroit drug game.

   Is White Boy Rick a melodrama or a thriller?

   • White Boy Rick isn't any different from what you see about numerous men of color going to prison. Except the person going to prison and betrayed by forces meant to protect him is a white dude. The nervous and tense staging in this film can't topple a story that doesn't decide if its a melodrama or a thriller. [Full Review in Spanish]
