While trauma and toxic masculinity linger like specters in the background of “If I Go,” Thompson-Hernández permits them to merely contextualize rather than overwhelm the drama. Go to Full Review Chase Hutchinson TheWrap 3d
It’s a film that, even when the end stumbles ever so slightly and steps away from its greatest strength in star Danielle Brooks, proves to be a vibrant vision of a family trying to find their way through the world. Go to Full Review Robert Daniels RogerEbert.com 3d
