The movie isn’t out yet and people are already hating it. A trailer for the new ‘Karen’ movie dropped this past week, showing actress Taryn Manning as a terrifyingly racist neighbor. But what seems to be more terrifying is the plot, the acting, and well, the overall movie. Here’s what you need to know.
Centering around a racist white woman named Karen White, the trailer teases how White’s motives align with her name’s notorious reputation when a young black couple, portrayed by actors Cory Hardrict and Jasmine Burke, eagerly arrive in their new neighborhood. Coke Daniels directs.
The ‘Karen’ Movie Is Already To Most-Hated Film Of The Year
As many readers know by now, Karen is a pejorative term for a woman seeming to be entitled or demanding beyond the scope of what is normal. The term also refers to memes depicting White women who use their privilege to demand their own way.
The term was coined in 2020, carries several stereotypes, the most notable being that a Karen will demand to “speak with the manager” of a hypothetical service provider. The term has often been called sexist and anti-woman with pictures of reality television show Karen Gosselin depicting what some people think look like a ‘Karen.’
In the movie, when a friend at brunch asks Karen to tell her about her new neighbors, Karen can only offer, “They’re Black.” In other scenes, Karen chides her neighbors to keep trash cans off the curb, threatens to speak with a restaurant manager about noisy patrons and appears to call the police on teenagers.
Of course, it didn’t take long for Twitter to do its thing and slam the movie’s trailer from each and every direction. Many comments have included, “This looks like a low budget SNL skit. Why was this even made?
Also when does it come out, I’m interested,” along with, “I was so excited to see this horror film but after watching this trailer, I can’t wait to see this COMEDY lmao a whole mess!! Why is this Black man in a graduation kente cloth?! Why is Pennsyltucky in it?! So many WHY’s! This is the Jordan Peele bootleg we deserve.”
Another critic wrote, “Why is Karen’s makeup the same in every single shot?????? And that wig is worse than the $7 ones I’ve bought for last minute Halloween costumes.”
