'Virtually all the comments I’ve seen online are addressed directly in the film from a variety of perspectives'
Loqueesha has the most controversial movie trailer of 2019. Writer and director Jeremy Saville stars as Joe, a down on his luck bartender who manages to secure a job as a radio DJ by impersonating a black woman to get on air. When the trailer launched on May 11, a wave of confusion and outright anger spread online on social media.
In response to the obvious criticisms of his movie, namely that it is patently offensive for a white man to impersonate a caricature of a black woman, Saville thinks that people are jumping to conclusions based on the trailer. In an Instagram post, Saville also compared his film with The Wayans’ Brothers 2004 comedy White Chicks, which stars the pair of black comedians in white face paint and female clothing. “ has a very similar concept, and that film included physical transformation as well,” Saville elaborated. Marlon Wayans refuted the comparison, saying he “hates when people tag him in their bullshit.”
