A young sketch artist visits a well-renowned psychiatrist as his life begins sprawling out of control after years of physical and verbal abuse has taken a toll on him.

This isn’t a miraculous tale of pulling oneself up by the bootstraps, but a glimpse of how life’s circumstances can drive us to take the most desperate and destructive of actions.

Though the film would have served best if there were less telling, I can tell that there is star power within Cox and Hunter, a collaboration I hope to see down the road.

Rated: 2.5/5

Even with meager resources, the filmmaker jolts you awake and makes you pay attention—delivering a necessary reality check when it comes to race, complicity, and mental health.

Rated: 3/5

Mickey Hardaway is about the toll that abuse, effort, and unfortunate circumstances can take on someone. This type of narrative about artists is usually reserved for white characters.

The acting is strong all round and there's some beautiful cinematography, mostly in black and white – all of it to a point.

This deeply resonate film is such that I cannot recall a black therapist treating a black client in a story about confronting dysfunctional turmoil. Despite story issues, what is important in filmmaker Marcellus Cox's debut is his ardent plea for sanity.

Rated: 3.5/5

Fantastic film, had me on the edge of my seat at moments. The acting in the film is phenomenal I especially love the performances of David Chattam, Stephen Cofield Jr and Dennis LA White. The Cinematography was beautiful I wasn’t expecting that aspect for a film with such a Microbudget so you can tell the director Marcellus Cox really put his heart and soul into this film. Some minor flaws but overall it’s a fantastic debut of a filmmaker I want to see more work from.
