The social issues The Half of it takes on are handled well, between the antagonization brought on to Ellie for her race and the conflict that arises from her being gay. Both aspects of her character are built up over the course of the film and don’t seem abrupt or rushed.

The film presents watchers with problems whom those like Ellie may face, and leaves us to sit with them and reflect.
