Bix M L @Marie559 11/22/2024 Movie about a killer with a fancy title. Protagonist is a selfcentered idiot who cares about no one but himself and his monologues are just … make you eyeroll forever. See more 01/01/2022 Such a strong first half that falls completely apart, especially once the climax arrived, I genuinely thought "but...why?"

Piaccia o no, i ritmi lenti e cadenzati come le movente di Ashton, il film segue la parabola di un giovane afro americano, il cui destino è segnato da un singolo momento che fa crollare tutte le sue speranze, portandolo in una spirale di disperazione. See more 06/16/2020 Native Son by Richard Wright is one of my favorite books. This film is not that book. It is a modernization with a different ending. Bigger is a Native Son. He is the product of systemic racism in America. See more 05/26/2020 I've been underwhelmed by Ashton Sanders in the past, but he did a great job in this indie film. Unfortunately the plot takes a bombastic turn after the halfway mark, and to me, ruins a strong first half. See more Ben D @RT87620530 12/19/2019 Coolest jacket ever. Ashton Sanders was my favorite "3rd" of Moonlight. But the film had a completely different tone from the book (which I discuss here) because of the deviation from the book's setting — modern day vs. 1930s — especially during the final act. The film's Bigger is more likable, which is the problem. See more Read all reviews
