Get Hard

• Comedy

A sharply uncomfortable comedy explores the anxieties of privilege through a desperate, and often misguided, attempt at prison preparation. When a wealthy financier faces incarceration, he seeks instruction from a hardworking, law-abiding man he assumes understands the realities of prison life, leading to a clash of cultures and deeply ingrained prejudices. The humor derives not from slapstick, but from the awkward dismantling of assumptions as both men confront their own ignorance and the complexities of racial and economic disparity. It’s a surprisingly observant film about how easily stereotypes calcify, resulting in a hesitant, yet ultimately hopeful, connection forged through shared vulnerability and a forced examination of personal beliefs.
