MORRIS FROM AMERICA<\/strong>
\nA24<\/strong>
\nReviewed by: Harvey Karten, Shockya<\/strong>
\nGrade: A-<\/strong>
\nDirector:\u00a0 Chad Hartigan<\/strong>
\nWritten by: Chad Hartigan<\/strong>
\nCast: Craig Robinson, Markees Christmas, Carla Juri, Lina Keller<\/strong>
\nScreened at: Review 2, NYC, 8\/1\/16<\/strong>
\nOpens: August 19, 2016<\/p>\n

Imagine you\u2019re an American in Paris (no, not that one).\u00a0 Would people look at you in strange ways?\u00a0 Hardly, because France is the most touristed country in Europe.\u00a0 But what if you were a student, someone living there for a year?\u00a0 Again, you would be recognized as a student and treated with the usual Gallic disdain.\u00a0 But what if you were a 13-year-old, not a tourist but someone living there the year \u2018round?\u00a0 Still no problem.\u00a0 How about if you were an African-American just entering your teenage years, you are in Heidelberg, Germany with your single dad, and you were encouraged to make friends with people about your age, all of whom are white?\u00a0 That could be a problem unless you were particularly extroverted and sophisticated or maybe a celebrity.\u00a0 The difficulties faced by an ordinary African-American, a pudgy one at that, who is told, nay commanded by a tutor to make friends with the local young Germans are the subject of \u201cMorris from America,\u201d one helluva funny movie, or a dramedy if you prefer to give it some gravitas.<\/p>\n

This exquisitely acted yet seemingly authentic story comes from the script and direction of Chad Hartigan, whose \u201cThis is Martin Bonner\u201d traces a man\u2019s move to Nevada leaving two adult chidren behind, and \u201cLuke and Brie are On a First Date,\u201d which looks into misunderstandings between the two title figures.\u00a0 \u201cMorris from America\u201d is arguably Hartigan\u2019s most accomplished work, not only from the clever script but for his direction of two terrific actors.\u00a0 One performer is Markees Christmas in a breakout role as Morris Gentry, the other, Craig Robinson (Curtis Gentry) as the 13-year-old\u2019s dad whose wife had died a few years before and who is working as a soccer coach in Heidelberg. (How he got that job when soccer is not a principal American sport and many Germans are at least as qualified is not answered.)<\/p>\n

At times, Morris is out in the youthful society trying to make friends but who is not that eager to do so because of his pre-adolescent awkwardness.\u00a0 At other times he is relating to his dad, who in a winning monologue toward the conclusion of the story confesses to the boy how difficult it is for him as a fish out of water and how hard it must be for the boy as well.<\/p>\n

This is the kind of dad we wish we all had.\u00a0 He\u2019s a pal who can rap, and who does so to the bemusement of his son, and he talks to Morris with all the expletives\u2014though in a friendly way\u2014that can make rapport between father and son so easy.\u00a0 Morris is lucky as well to have a fun relationship with his tutor, learning the German language (but only ein bischen) from Inka (Carla Juri), a twenty-something student who appears to work at this as part of the requirements of her future career.\u00a0 If I had a tutor like her, I might have passed calculus.<\/p>\n

The inevitable racism appears, however benevolent, as when some of the teens assume he\u2019d be great at basketball and want him on their team.\u00a0 The 15-year-old girl, Katrin (Lina Keller) who is Morris\u2019s first love, but one who has a boyfriend who is a university student, takes a special interest in Morris, \u201cadopts\u201d him, invites him to parties.\u00a0 The parties are shown in psychedelic detail.\u00a0 Morris takes his first steps as a dancer and winds up as a decent enough hoofer.\u00a0 One might have hoped that a flirtatious Katrin would enjoy a happy home life but she is wholly out of touch with her demanding mother Eva L\u00f6bau, who is shocked to see her daughter in her room with Morris.<\/p>\n

\u201cMorris from America\u201d is a road-and-buddy movie, a fish-out-of-water comedy, a clash-of-cultures exploration, yet despite the ease with which such a movie could become tired, it remains fresh, funny, quirky, giving the picture the kind of heft that allowed it to win the Sundance 2016 Waldo Salt Screenwriting award and, for Craig Robinson, the Sundance 2016 Special Jury Award for Acting.\u00a0 The movie was filmed in Berlin, Brandenburg, Frankfurt, Heidelberg and Baden Wurttember.<\/p>\n

Rated PG-13. 91 minutes.\u00a0 \u00a9 Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/strong><\/p>\n
