Well Deserved Praise

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film

By the time I got to the end of this documentary, I was blown away by what I'd seen. The filmmaker became immersed in the world of hip hop artist Half-A-Mill, and we as viewers get the benefit of that dedication.Through watching this rapper put out his first record with the help of his friends, a world opens up to us with the kind of intricate details you can't fake. You have to have some patience in the beginning as the world of the documentary unfolds around you, but you're well-rewarded. "Player Hating" is a unique look at the American dream.
