‘Am I Racist?’ Earns ‘Verified Hot’ Badge On Rotten Tomatoes

After an incredible opening weekend, “Am I Racist?,” the new movie starring Matt Walsh going deep undercover into the world of DEI, has achieved the honor of “Verified Hot” on Rotten Tomatoes.

The popular review site recently changed their rating system to include the “Popcornmeter,” which gives a special ranking to reviewers who are verified to have purchased tickets to the film they’re reviewing.

A movie must receive a verified audience score of 90% or higher on the Popcornmeter to receive an official Verified Hot badge and must have a minimum of 500 Verified Ratings for films in wide release and a minimum of 250 Verified Ratings for limited releases to qualify for the Popcornmeter, as The Daily Wire previously reported.

Mainstream critics have completely ignored the film, while the critics who have reviewed it gave “Am I Racist?” favorable reviews. 

“Matt Walsh swiftly and entertainingly exposes the race-industry for the crazy charlatan grift that it is,” one reviewer wrote. 

Another agreed, writing, “A bold, provocative and outrageously funny documentary. Regardless of where you stand politically, Am I Racist? will be an eye-opening experience that will change the way you look at anti-racists and racism in America.”

The audience score was sitting at an impressive 99% as of Sunday night with well over 500 verified reviews. Moviegoers almost unanimously agreed that Walsh’s latest project is hilarious, important, and poised to help take down the DEI industry.

“Completely entertaining…entire theater laughing hysterically…while also engaging with an important social issue. Tough to pull off…and they pulled it off,” one reviewer wrote. 

“Brilliant. Very uncomfortable in spots, but very hilarious in others. We need more of this type of film making on all societal issues,” a second person agreed.

“Loved the movie. Changed the way I think about things. It’s been awhile since a movie made me laugh out loud,” a third reviewer echoed.

Even liberals who disagree with Walsh’s politics are saying “Am I Racist?” is worth seeing. 

“Liberal up in Canada, increasingly holding my nose as I vote for Trudeau. Honestly man, it’s surprisingly good. I was REALLY surprised that Matt Walsh could do the Borat thing. Sacha Baron Cohen spent YEARS perfecting the art. But, by the end of film, the comparison is in fact warranted,” a Reddit user wrote of the movie. 

“The film is hilarious and worth watching, especially if you’ve been on the wrong side of one of these grifters despite allegedly being in the same team.”

“Am I Racist?”made history for being one of only 15 documentaries to open in over 1,500 theaters after expanding from just 200 to start. It debuted as the number three release in the country over the weekend.

The Daily Wire entered the entertainment space in 2021 with a mission to disrupt Hollywood. The company has since released six films, including the acclaimed “What Is A Woman?” starring Walsh, one of the most-viewed documentaries of all time. “Am I Racist?” is The Daily Wire’s first theatrical release and is already defying industry expectations with its box office performance.

“Am I Racist?” is now playing at theaters nationwide.
