Synopsis

A failed 40 year old comedian wants to organize the first Black protests in France but meeting with other French celebrities of the Black community will make it a whole new adventure.

Community Reviews

Viewers find 'Simply Black' a refreshing take on comedy, blending humor with social commentary on race in France. The film's mockumentary style and star-studded cast, including many well-known French celebrities playing themselves, add to its unique charm. While some praise its intelligent and humorous approach to tackling stereotypes and racism, others feel it sometimes falls flat and can be caricatural or vague in its messaging.

👍 Star-studded cast playing themselves adds unique charm.

👎 Some find the humor and message vague or caricatural.
