A comparison can easily be made to the story of Romeo and Juliet. The two young actors Tish and Alfonso embraced their roles. Regina King was superb. Her emotional connection to her entire family was real. The love the two people shared was powerful. They waged a war that continues today. Brilliantly directed. Worth all award consideration.
This film is a good tribute to the writings of our great Black American writer James Baldwin. If one wants to really know intimately the black experience..this is a great introduction..then read Baldwin.
The acting was excellent. Kept my attention through out the entire show. So much that I did not how long it was until after it was over. I give it a 10 on a scale of 1-10 Drama range. A must see for a Mature audience.
A treasure of a film. Actors are superb. Gut wrenching knowing how so much has NOT changed!! A must see.
