Emergency (2022)

 Three college roommates, two of them black and one brown, find an unconscious white girl in their apartment on the biggest party night of the year. Starts as rowdy college comedy then crosses with Jordan Peele infused racial horror. More awkward then funny, I have a sense of what it was aiming for, but the film didn't start coming together for me until more then an hour in. There are parts of this that I thought worked, some really worked, but it was just too uneven, tone all over the place, lose threads that never pay off. Disappointied. *1/2
