When it comes to writing the poetry that Kalindra recites, Murray knows how to do more with less; he needs to apply that lesson to his filmmaking, too.

The familiar themes of escaping abuse and self-actualization/redemption/salvation through art become, in Murray and his cast's hands, something uniquely and memorably moving and exhilarating.

Rated: 3.5/4

The kind of film that Hollywood rarely makes anymore: smart, deep, honest, genuinely poignant and complex. It will nourish your heart, mind and soul. Shanola Hampton delivers a bravura, star-making performance.

Rated: 10/10

Excellent film. Charles Murray wrote a great script and crafted a compelling narrative. The actors were all on point. Omari Hardwick always delivers and he is superb in this movie. The surprise was Shanola Hampton. She brought it. She is a fine and powerful actress. Elimu Nelson scared the heck out me! Highly recommend this film.
