Loqueesha is a 2019 independent American comedy film written, produced, directed by, and starring indie comedian Jeremy Saville. The film tells the story of Joe, a middle-aged, divorced, white bartender who becomes a nationally syndicated radio host by impersonating a black woman.
The film attempted to cover many topics including racism, unemployment, income inequality, suicide, and African American tropes.[1] The film's trailer was released on YouTube on May 11, 2019, prompting a backlash on social media for the film's perceived racism. Other reviewers considered the trailer to simply be a form of shock humor, used as a form of viral marketing. The film had a limited release in theaters on July 12, 2019, and was panned by critics, and has a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes. It has since appeared on several lists of the worst films ever made.
