Film Review; The American Society of Magical Negroes.

As indie films go, these actors don’t stand out from the fray. Friend and Taylor fall in that category. Grier as the guide, Aisha Hinds (TV’s Underground) as the teacher and Nicole Byer as the leader of TASOMN waste their talent too. But Bogan shows a gift for modern, rom/com and gives one of the few performances that doesn’t seem forced. Her moments with Smith lift him up. His moments without her are in a dead zone. And if their comic, interracial, multi-cultural romance is the film’s only strong suit, what’s the point?
