On Re-Viewing The Hate U Give

A while back, I read The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas, which was one of the few bestselling YA novels I’ve read which I thought worth the hype. Here is my review of the book. When I heard that a film was being made, I became very excited. So was the author, for that matter, chattering about it on Twitter, so I believed - correctly - that if the author was happy with the film, it was probably going to be good.

We didn’t get it here till  February this year, while the US got it in October last year. My great-niece Dezzy had also read the book and loved it, so we decided to see it together, but after all that time I forgot and went in my own soon after it opened. So, when we went to see it together at my local cinema, it was a second viewing for me, and well worth a second look.

In case you have missed the hype, the story is set in a small town where African-American teenager Starr Carter lives with her parents, her half brother Seven and her little brother. She studies at an expensive private school where she is “Starr 2” and is somebody else at home. One night, at a party, a fight breaks out and Starr gets a lift home from her childhood friend Khalil, who is shot dead by a policeman who pulls them over on the road. Khalil isn’t the first friend Starr has seen die and the rest of the story involves trying to get justice for Khalil, hill suffering PTSD herself.

The role of Starr is played by Amanda Stenberg, whom I last saw as the child Rue, killed in The Hunger Games - another YA bestseller I thought worth the hype, by the way!  She was well cast, I thought, and played the role with great passion and heart.  Her father was played by zrussell Hornsby, also wonderful in his role of the wise father who has come up from drug dealing to a family man who thinks nothing is worth risking his wife and children for.

Unfortunately it doesn’t seem to have turned up on this year’s Oscars short list for anything.  What a shame!
