Nial G The ending is something else. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/21/25 Full Review Zed M A unique and beautiful film. The ending is near perfect. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/02/24 Full Review victoria b I was deeply moved by Nicki Micheaux's powerful film - it was such an intense and glorious movie. It's about a high school senior whose life is upended by love and violence - it's a romance... it's a psychological thriller... it's a roller coaster. It's based on a real summer... in 1993 "Summer of Violence" in Denver. I loved it. Go see it! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/28/24 Full Review Read all reviews
