Review Date:

A tonally frustrating film with standout performances and a powerful monologue, but its dual focus detracts from its overall impact; consider waiting for a sale.

The American Society of Magical Negros boasts a superb Blu-ray transfer, with high-detail levels visible in fabric textures and facial features, vibrant primaries, deep black levels, and universally healthy skin tones, making for an engaging visual experience.

Audio: 75

The American Society of Magical Negroes delivers an expressive English DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 track with crisp, clear dialogue and excellent directionality, particularly during magical sequences. While bass adds depth, the usually mundane settings allow for only occasional robust immersive moments.

Extra: 56

The Blu-ray extras of 'The American Society of Magical Negroes' offer insightful commentary and behind-the-scenes features, where the cast and crew delve into character development, cinematography, set design, and personal experiences, enhancing viewers' understanding and appreciation of the film.

Movie: 46

This Blu-ray release of Kobi Libii's 'The American Society of Magical Negroes' excels in its satirical critique of the 'Magical Negro' trope, bolstered by solid video and audio quality, yet suffers from a lack of world-building and underdeveloped magical elements, though it's redeemed somewhat by a charming romantic subplot.
