      Linda P It's rare to see an indie period piece of this quality. The production design was particularly outstanding, as was the cinematography. Compelling story of racism in the 40's in Hollywood. Well done! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/02/20 Full Review Audience Member What a beautiful period piece this film is... wonderfully directed and the set design was fantastic - really took me to that time and place (which isn't always easy to do on an "indie" budget). The actors were all fantastic too - loved this movie! Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
