Clay_RatcliffJuly 18, 2025After watching the film, all I want to say to the director is: a narrative film should focus on telling a good story, and you need to know when enough is enough with the sentimentality!

This is such a relevant movie not only because of its subject and what's happening in the world right now, but because they really did James Baldwin's voice justice. Every play is planned and executed in a way that'll warrant the same heartfelt emotions as in the novel. It was a magical experience to see it come to life.
