Love this movie. As a black man I appreciate how we were portrayed in this movie
I’m a Black woman born and raised in NYC since the late 80s, so a lot of the discussions surrounding post-Reagonomics, police brutality and forced gentrification resonated with me. However, this was not a great film. There was no real plot, and it was difficult to empathize with the Inez character at times because she expected so much from Terry, not realizing he was just a child. She saw herself in him, so perhaps she was also a child brought up in a system where she was forced to grow up fast and deal with trauma differently…. I wish the director started the movie off showcasing Inez during her formative years at least, so that we can get that perspective.
I’ve met people like Inez and Terry, who end up falling through the cracks of the underserved populations in NYC. I had high hopes for the director to tackle the portrayal of these people. Unfortunately, this ain’t it. I spent the entirety of the film rolling my eyes or looking at my watch, waiting for it to end.
I loved the poignant discourse the director offered with this short statement: “Nobody gives a fcuk about Black women except other Black women and even that gets messy at times”.
So true.
Nicely worded, thank you. I saw it yesterday at BAM. If this is not the best film I've seen in years, I don't know what is. I can't get it outta my mind, Though I'm partial... I'm a local kid myself. Props!
I absolutely loved this film. The acting, cinematography, script, and score were just chef’s kiss imo. This movie deserves to be an awards darling. Kudos to A.V. Brockwell and everyone from Teyana to Will, entire cast and crew. Y’all have outdone yourselves. Shoutout to one of my favorite creators Lena Waithe for producing and giving black creators a lane to continue to thrive ✊🏾
Just saw it. Teyana did a great job!
How was the story?
The story line was excellent, l was looking forward to seeing a happier ending.Life isn't always peachs and cream sometimes it's vinegar and water. Still was a great movie...
A damn good movie reminds me of the movie Moonlight but with a crazy ass twist at the end.
YES!!! Definitely gave me Moonlight vibes. It’s the cinematography & the storyline a bit for me that reminded me of how similar they seem. Very beautiful!
Teyana played Inez like the talent that she is. ❤
Im definitely going to go see it. When I first saw the trailer I was like ooo that looks good. I hope Teyana gets all the awrds she deserves in the acting world, cuz they played her in the music world by not giving her her flowers. And i don't appreciate it 😒
Bro i watched this by myself and could relate to it sooo muchhh… me , my mom, n my lil brothers kind of went thru a cps/foster situation years ago but my mom (the beutiful angel she is) got her shit together n raised me n my bros by herself… i love her to death for what she sacraficed for us..got my mom to watch it too with me and she also cried 😭.. this movie hella relatable and hella good. All the actors did amazing..
I Will never forget this movie!! My body is fild with emotions i cant explane beautifull
Agree with everything u said!!!!!! Bravo 👏🏿 to teyona Taylor!!!! She did her thang.
I can’t put respect on your name if you can’t see that the ending was lacking. There was no wrapping up of the story. They showed him wanting to date the girl only for her to move to FL…which is fine but how do we know more about her ending then we do Inez or Terry’s. If the ending would have given some closer to Inez & Terry it’s a A+ but other wise it’s a C-/D+ rating for me. Which sucks because Tiana acted her ass off in this film
This film wrecked me. The performances are so real, so touching.
I cried so much lmaoo
Just saw it tonight. An amazing film. Loved every bit of it!
I love Teyana! I'm going to watch this movie.
All of the actors were phenomenal in this film. I just didn't appreciate the way it ended.
Very good movie. 8/10. I didn't think Teyanna can act
Just seen the in my City. All I can say, it's a very good Film and everyone did a great acting job. Truely Real Timepiece Film of NYC! It was touching and emotional! Ms. Taylor, Lucky and the Son put their heart and soul into this film. Loved the Soundtrack Score too. This movie does addresses gentrification that has hit places like NYC, D.C. and Other Large Cities. I definitely won't forget this film. Great Soundtrack!
The smirk at the end showed she didnt care about Terrys feelings after all that fake crying she did.
I was so confused by the smirk and wondered what it meant.
The most beautiful actress. Amazing film.
Such a riveting movie,Great acting from all. Ms. Taylor did her thing,her❤ performance is unforgettable
Just watched this and you did a great job reviewing it. I miss your reviews!!! 😔
Thank you for this review! I've been waiting to hear someone's opinion on this movie for like a month now. One thing I can say...RUclips has been running the promo for this movie like crazy, and that's not always the case for a predominantly black cast. Love that for all involved.🤎
Just watched this morning today. Wow, Teyana was so talented in this!!
Such a beautiful movie!!!
Thank you for your review - I was on the fence about seeing it - but definitely seeing it now.
Saw this on $5 Tuesday
Are you doing reviews for the new season of Yellowjackets?
Of course! First episode recap is already up and next one will be 1am this Friday.
Love u sis. ❤
Why did she smirk at the end of the movie? That was so weird!
I hated the ending…we don’t know what happened to her or Terry…did he graduate or become a music composer…did he keep in touch with the girl in FL???
THATS WHAT I WANTED TO KNOW… WHAT WAS THAT SMURK ABOUT AT THE END… AND WHEN HE KEPT SAYING I LOVE YOU, I LOVE YOU MA… SHE DIDNT EVEN TELL HIM SHE LOVES HIM BACK. ALL SHE SAID WAS I THINK YOU SHOULD GO…
In my opinion, Inez did say in the end, that she won because she knew Terry was gonna grow up and be somebody. She gave him what she never had so he could be what she couldn't be. Maybe that's what her smile represented..
I enjoyed the film as well! Thank you so much for this review🤗
Just watched this movie it was really good and Teyona Taylor was really good in the film
What happened to terry
Well, she explained it to him at the end. She saw him wandering outside a shelter unsupervised and stayed with him for hours, and no one ever came for him. So she took him in "to protect him" since obviously no one cared.
Thank you for a great review.
Your review was excellent. I felt the movie had too much profanity. The constant F Bombs were unnecessary. The drama at the end was too much. They could've worked things out. Nevertheless, the film was excellent.
No that’s actually necessary because that’s reaL NY talk
You should watch Disney movies if you can’t handle movies like this
What drama at the end? When the truth is finally revealed?
Really
