Black lives matter, latino lives matter; all lives matter of course but I think I've seen enough movies about the subject as it is. This one was particularly boring though. I didn't even like the cast.

I cannot imagine why a movie with so much to give was not advertised more. This movie left me in tears, not because it was a sad movie but because the movie gives you hope for mankind but it makes you question everything around you.. Great job, we need more like this.

This movie was a drama but full of suspense. It kept my eyes glued to the screen. The actors were amazing, music was spot on, and the message was beyond inspiring. If you are a crier youï¿ 1/2 1/2(TM)ll cry tears of joy. If youï¿ 1/2 1/2(TM)re not a cryer youï¿ 1/2 1/2(TM)ll have tears in your eyes. Itï¿ 1/2 1/2(TM)s really good; a must see.

I loved the movie. It was heart warming and relevant. I especially loved that the gospel message of hope was shared in the movie. I am disappointed that it was only in Milwaukee for 7 days. By the time I saw it and shared it with friends, it was gone. This message needs to be heard.

It was a good movie not your typical movie about the negative acts of a young black male and how the fathers are not in the boys lives. It was also nice to watch a movie withoutwithout the use of profanity and sex.

The film... is nobly intended but, as drama, rickety.

Rated: 2/4

Richard Roeper

Chicago Sun-Times

Director and co-writer LaMarr does a fine job of cutting back and forth to the various storylines, and connecting them when the moment is right.

Rated: 3.5/4

Cinemalogue

Heavy-handed execution drowns out the worthwhile messages of compassion in this earnest and heartfelt drama about race relations in Chicago.
