Synopsis

Tyler joins a friend on a birthday weekend away with several people he doesn’t know. As soon as he gets there, it’s clear that he’s the only black guy. Although welcomed, Tyler can’t help but feel uneasy. As the testosterone and alcohol gets out of hand, his precarious situation becomes nightmarish.

Our take

With echoes of Get Out (not least in casting Caleb Landry Jones), Sebastián Silva’s anxiety-inducing seventh feature turns racially charged microaggressions into high drama. Heightened by unnerving hand-held camerawork and brilliantly cringy performances, Tyrel is a pure social nightmare.
