I saw this through virtual Sundance earlier this year. This film really is excellent. The performances are top-notch, and I hope this gets in somewhere at the Oscars this year. Seriously, do NOT miss this one when it comes out.
If anyone gets the nomination(s), it'll be Aunjanue or John Earl Jelks. Aunjanue is a previous Supporting Actress Oscar nominee so she's on their radar and her role in The Nickel Boys is so small she could campaign for her role here instead in that category. And the Supporting Actor category is weak enough that with glowing reviews and a enough promotion, John could make the fifth and final slot, because right now it's looking like Samuel L. Jackson will sweep for The Piano Lesson, but not necessarily because of the performance but as a career win.
I love Black movies with aesthetically pleasing cinematography. The visuals reminds me of Barry Jenkins movies & also Melina Matsoukas's movie Queen & Slim. Black Art! 🎨 🍫
Just saw a screening of this last night-heavy, at times triggering, but powerful and amazing. The cinematography, the acting, and Titus Kaphar’s unique approach to the subject matter were all incredible. I appreciated how he used his perspective as a contemporary artist to craft a compelling story for his feature film debut. Excellent movie.
I stopped midway through the trailer; that was enough for me. The emotional relationship between the characters was enough for me to want to see it. Definitely on my list.
My biological father was a piece of shit and the dad in this movie trailer reminds me of him. My biological father was murdered in 2018 and because I was his oldest I was responsible for planning his funeral and talking to detectives. It was sooooooo hard to be there for a man that I hated so much. However it taught me forgiveness and humbled me like a mug. Life is a crazy crazy crazy rollercoaster of learning.
This looks amazing in both senses- meaning the story itself seems to be emotionally charged and worth watching for character development and connection to our shared humanity, but also: look at the cinematography, blocking, color palette, lighting, editing... films like this are my absolute fave- when you can freeze them at any moment and the still looks like a painting you could see in a museum. Movies are, first and foremost, a visual medium, and I love it when the people creating them are masters of the craft.
So grateful to see a film highlighting the freedom in aForgiveness …especially honored to see our back men leading roles and demonstrating the powerful acts in regard to this spiritual art… I pray that we ALL seek and be forgiven theres freedom in giving and receiving it🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Honestly, I'm tired (and, I'm sure I'm not the only one) of seeing film trailers that are compromised of "the best" scenes in the movie, where the actual film is somewhat lackluster (or worse). This trailer, on the other hand, was wonderful. Sure, it made me interested in seeing the film...but, more importantly, it made me think - think about my past, think about how I've treated my father, think about the things I need to forgive my father, as well as others, for. These days, there are all sorts of movies...action, drama, fantasy, sci-fi...but, there are very few films that HONESTLY make people think. Even worse, most of Hollywood does nothing but rehash old 'things' into New films. It's INCREDIBLY refreshing to see "something new"...something that touches the heart, as well as the soul. Thank you. ❤
Sorry but most of ‘Hollywood’ is making original films, they’re indie films like this, the stuff no one sees in theatres anymore, or pays money to watch, so companies see no profit and invest more in IP, which makes up like 1% of all films but get all the marketing and attention. So sick of people dismissing the amazing artists still making amazing films like this but who are forgotten becuz no one bothers to do any research.
That was me with the Netflix movie Blonde, If you watch the trailer you would want to watch the film but when you watch the film you would think what the fuck did I just watch [in a bad way]
Forgive your father, please. And forgive yourself. I didn't speak to my father the last time I heard him in the background - drunk - while I was on the phone with my sister. He died shortly after. I cannot bear to delete his number from my phone. Don't wait too long like I did.
@@axucaroso I completely understand what you mean. 2.5yrs ago, while on a 3mo assignment driving nurses for FEMA, my mom & stepdad drove almost 400mi, just to have dinner with me on my birthday, and then drive back home the following morning (my wife at the time, who was only 150mi away, wouldn't even do that). The next morning, they drove home, after which she called to let me know they made it home safely. That was the last time I heard her voice. The next day, she had what the doctors initially thought was a minor stroke. Turned out, v or was anything but. The following day, I abandoned my job (but, not before calling my boss, and explaining the situation), and drove to their house. The next morning, my stepdad (not my actual dad, whom I was referring to in my initial comment) and I went to the hospital. That was the last time it saw her. We came home, and, while i6 was walking their dog, my stepdad got "the call".
Forgiveness is key. Though it may be easy, it is essential. Unforgiveness is a silent killer, a disease that spreads and kills the soul. We can forgive knowing that God forgives us daily. This film looks very interesting. Thank you for sharing 🥁
I absolutely love the use of Maya Angelou s poem in the beginning, not a giant poetry fan so I didn't realize it was her until I looked it up. Very cool way to open a very good looking movie trailer, I'm sure the film itself is fantastic
What an amazing movie. My husband and I saw last night. The acting's superb, the music is hauntingly beautiful, the storyline so very raw and plausible. Go see it before it's gone!
Just watched it today. I thought I got through unscathed but just wept uncontrollably afterward. We need more films like this, they speak to the emotions and experiences that don’t get explored often enough
From the opening scene to the final frame this movie keeps you captive. This was not like a "regular movie" but life unfolding right before your very eyes with the realistic portrayals, visuals and direction. This film was shown at the Brooklyn Museum, received thunderous applause, and I was fortunate to have taken a selfie with the talented André Holland.🥰
Oooofff, just knowing the subject content and how they mapped out this trailer’s got me tearing up here 😢. It feels like this will be a powerful film. I’m hoping to see it
Just saw Exhibiting Forgiveness in theaters! It's beautiful and poetic filmmaking. Andre Holland, Andra Day, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, & Jelks are very moving
All of it!!! Oh my this is gonna be a relational soul breaker of a movie. The artistry, cinematography & performances are exceptional in this trailer. May all involved be given their recognition for it. Congrats!!
okay come on. here we go. soooo many films coming in just dark. horror, violent, nihilistic. this trailor brought tears to my eyes. themes of forgiveness? yes please.
I need to see this. Being estranged from your father is painful. I love where Andra Day is going with her career. That art is so vibrant. Reminds me of Terrance Osburne.
Just saw this this weekend at Sidewalk Film Festival; great film! I really liked its depiction on how life impacts one’s art and its message on forgiveness (without sugarcoating these topics). André and Titus crafted a great picture!
It is beautiful to look at your new project. Your paintings are incredible, your more than talented. How to forget that Led talk in the darkness. Your voice still resonating!
This movie was amazing and touch me in a way I can’t describe. Seeing it in theaters was an experience. If you can, please support this movie. To everyone one who had a hand in this movie, thank you for helping me, sharing with me and touching me on this journey called life.
I was scanning for new films to watch this weekend and this was one of them. I was gonna watch it for André Holland but after this trailer I'm here for all of it. Roadside needs a better marketing department.
Damn this movie, and no I did not cry 😭😭😭 , well just a little, also the director is the actual artist, I lost my mom this February and this really hit home
I’m about to show my sisters and nieces this trailer because we need to run and see this!!! Also, I dislike how they promote, sex, drugs, horror, and demonic films! But when it comes to love, family, forgiveness, and lessons, they get nothing!
Because so much of American cinema is controlled by people who lack spiritual depth. They can only lean on what they are full of. We need to produce our own stories. If you are a writer, make sure to enter contests, take film classes, do whatever you can to get your work out front. If you can tell a good story based on the complexities of Black culture, believe in it and get it out there
I have always struggled with anger , resentments, and unforgiveness. I have been working on it with a therapist and 12 step sponsor, and it is getting better. I was told that resentments only hurt you, not the wrongdoers. I had to write down my resentments and how they affected me to see the damage to motivate me to let go. I also had to write down my part in the resentments so I could see where i was in the wrong, make amends, change behaviors, build my character and reconcile relationships if appropriate. Obviously there are some situations you don't play a part like if you were abused. I really get into psychology and human behavior so I like to understand why people act how they do for example mental illness. It helps to have compassion on them and to wish them well. This is NOT justifying or condoning it just helps to understand, have compassion, and wish them well. Its also not good to get revenge, not only because of consequence but they will get their karma and there will be justice. If it motivates them to change and make anends be happy for them.
I know so many who can relate to this. Black, white, red & yellow. I pray this movie reaches all it can and that it is used to help heal so many. God knows it's needed. My own child's father walked away 3 years ago now and he lives nearby but he never sees or talks to our child. You wouldn't know it if you knew my son but I know it's a pain that grows with time. I pray for healing and softened hearts for everyone involved in this kind of pain from abandonment . I pray for change to come, forgiveness and reconciliation. In Jesus name. Amen 🙏
forgiveness is hard thing, when you are hurting deep down. how we supposed to forgive? maybe this movie will give some answers. caused i don't know how.
It’s a shame this wasn't advertised like I've ben having to deal w/ Netflix redundancy and they have films like this out... glad I’m a film buff. Those who seek shall find. Might go see this tonight.
There are some movies you like to watch with yourself, so you can feel and emote freely. I watch this trailer and it just draws me to be with myself. Immersion.
The poem, the art, the blackness, the love, the generational trauma. This is gonna be a beautiful film.
and was.
The blackness?!
Racist
@@andD-pr3dytf that’s suppose to mean it’s a black film ! Weirdo ass
I saw this through virtual Sundance earlier this year. This film really is excellent. The performances are top-notch, and I hope this gets in somewhere at the Oscars this year. Seriously, do NOT miss this one when it comes out.
I hope no one dies
@@heymistercarter. I didn't know Sundance had a virtual option. I will have to look into this.
Probably the best movie Andra’s been in so far
Oh look another one of them ...
André Holland taking one more step closer to an Oscar nomination. Go on, brother! Got a lot of us supporting you from back in the day. Always... 👊
👊🏽🤝🥺🤒
Loved him in the “Leftovers”.
🌹🌹🌹

@@CeliniacForLife I appreciate your thoughtful response and respectfully say, I hope your wrong about Andre.
Whew. I’m already crying…just from the trailer. Can’t wait to see this masterpiece
Me too!
Ha, how do you react when real things actually happen if you're spilling over a movie trailer my god
I’ll definitely be in the movie theaters!
Crying with you!!
You don’t even know if it’s a masterpiece yet because it hasn’t come out yet.
I love Black movies with aesthetically pleasing cinematography. The visuals reminds me of Barry Jenkins movies & also Melina Matsoukas's movie Queen & Slim. Black Art! 🎨 🍫

Yes! This trailer got me excited as a student of great filmmakers and stories. This director is one to watch 🙌🏾✨
i’m so looking forward to watching this film. i met the director of the film virtually and he’s so nice and down to earth.
So grateful to see a film highlighting the freedom in aForgiveness …especially honored to see our back men leading roles and demonstrating the powerful acts in regard to this spiritual art… I pray that we ALL seek and be forgiven theres freedom in giving and receiving it🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Why are these kinds of films underrated too much than other films like you can't learn anything from a Marvel film 😭 😭
😂🎉
🎉😂
In a word: Money
Light has come…BUT men love darkness (foolishness) rather than light.
That’s why these films are underrated.
You shouldn't be looking to Hollywood to learn stuff, movies are trash. They influence you, they don't teach you. Wake up
I was invited yesterday to see this as a preview. This trailer does this movie no justice. It was an amazing movie.
Forgiveness is key. Though it may be easy, it is essential. Unforgiveness is a silent killer, a disease that spreads and kills the soul. We can forgive knowing that God forgives us daily. This film looks very interesting. Thank you for sharing 🥁
Amen Sister ❤🩸🙏🔥❤️🎚️
How do you know if you truly forgave someone
I absolutely love the use of Maya Angelou s poem in the beginning, not a giant poetry fan so I didn't realize it was her until I looked it up. Very cool way to open a very good looking movie trailer, I'm sure the film itself is fantastic
What's the name of poem?
@@Joshua-oz2jkLife Doesn’t Frighten Me
@@Alushforluxe Thanks 🫂
I’m so happy Andra Day has launched into her creative side as an actress. She’s excellent! I’ll be in the theater for this one💃🏽

Every black man 40 and under needs to watch this…
Every Black man period.
why have a cut off...
@@CeliniacForLife THANK YOU!! NO AGE
NO AGE, EVERY BLACK MAN!
Why?
All of it!!! Oh my this is gonna be a relational soul breaker of a movie. The artistry, cinematography & performances are exceptional in this trailer. May all involved be given their recognition for it. Congrats!!
I don't think I've ever been so moved by a TRAILER! Sheesh! -- This CAST! Looking forward to this next month! ✨👌🏾
the art in this is gorgeous
Loved André Holland in The Eddy and I haven't been this excited to see a film in a long time.
That look from him when she said it would follow him home. Woooo
When a trailer makes me cry, I know I must see this movie 💙
okay come on. here we go. soooo many films coming in just dark. horror, violent, nihilistic. this trailor brought tears to my eyes. themes of forgiveness? yes please.
As someone who’s struggled with thoughts and feelings of resentment and revenge, this movie will be interesting to see. Def on my radar now.
This film was a masterpiece- so much depth and artistry throughout🖤
Trailer already wrecked me. It's insanely powerful. Really looking forward to this!
This is a masterpiece and must see. Bravo!
If this had A24 attached to it it would get the recognition it deserves 👏🏾
I need to see this. Being estranged from your father is painful. I love where Andra Day is going with her career. That art is so vibrant. Reminds me of Terrance Osburne.
Gosh Ms Day is such a GREAT actress! and Andre Holland.........yes............really exceptional story telling!

Now this is a black story I want to see!
Looks like an Oscar winning acting, screenplay, and directorial film. Can't wait to watch!
Looks stunning... Can't wait.

This is the first I’ve heard of this movie 😭 can’t wait to see it in theaters.
Yep, wanna see this. A quality trailer for what looks like an even better film.
This film looks like an hidden gem, can’t wait to watch it.
Looking forward to Andre (per usual) but ANDRA is on a mission! Sis has been showing off her chops!!
That's a good looking, therapy session...... I will be checking for this 👍🏿!!!
I’m going to see it tomorrow! I’m so happy I can’t wait !!
This looks Goodt. I fear too many of us know this story but the execution in this trailer looks phenomenal. ✨
WOW. Looks like this is a beautiful film with power and grace, enhanced by Ms Day's singing. Thank you!
I watch everything André Holland is in
Same! That man is such a fantastic actor!!
I was scanning for new films to watch this weekend and this was one of them. I was gonna watch it for André Holland but after this trailer I'm here for all of it. Roadside needs a better marketing department.
This looks beautiful and deep. Can't wait to watch it.❤
Damn this movie, and no I did not cry 😭😭😭 , well just a little, also the director is the actual artist,
I lost my mom this February and this really hit home
Holy crap this looks amazing... seems like everyone that walks out of the theatre will be somewhat of a better human being
So important to support this film by seeing it this opening weekend!
This was such a wonderful film. I would definitely see it again.
People decide to miss out on your life then circle round like nothing ever happened
Yh I forgive you but stay away from me
I hope this film gets support from its studio.
This hits me HARD…and it’s just the trailer. Can’t wait for the cleansing experience.
I’m about to show my sisters and nieces this trailer because we need to run and see this!!!
Also, I dislike how they promote, sex, drugs, horror, and demonic films! But when it comes to love, family, forgiveness, and lessons, they get nothing!

I watched this film a couple days ago and I'm still thinking about it. Beautiful work all around. Please go see it!
I will watch ANYTHING Andre Holland is in. I can’t wait to see this-it looks excellent!
Amazing movie
This looks aesthetically pleasing.
His father asked for forgiveness
I’ve never had anyone and certainly no one asking for forgiveness
This man deserved forgiveness
💚
That last scene at the very last minute and then that beautiful song man
😖😭 5/5
why am i already emotional asl after this trailer? This film boutta shake me up
All star cast im sold 👏🏾👏🏾
Amazing, necessary film with beautiful performances and art. For anyone who hasn’t seen it, it’s out now on video on-demand!

This film shook me to my core ☹️
Wowwwww!!!! This is gonna be the one that gets Anjanue nominated for sure!!!
This movie is so good! It is definitely on my list of my favorite movies of all time ❤😊.
I just left the theater! Good movie 👍🏾🎥 worth it!
This looks like the sort of film thats gonna make me weep even if their life experiences are so vastly different to mine
He appears in a leading role this Time... could have seen him more in moonlight
Saw it today. Hard to watch. Important to see. Brilliant acting by all. A story most can relate to.
Beautiful, moving trailer....I want to see it!
This looks like a tear jerker! 🔥🔥🔥
Excellent movie and forgiveness doesn't require us to have a relationship.
There are some movies you like to watch with yourself, so you can feel and emote freely. I watch this trailer and it just draws me to be with myself. Immersion.
Andre Holland, Andra Day, Aunjunue Ellis excellent cast.
I cannot wait to see this film and taking my hubby with me!!!
Oh my goodness I can't wait. This looks simply amazing.
Not my kind of film, and prob won't watch it, but I'm glad it's out there in the world. It seems like it will change lives.
well, that looks absolutely lovely.
