      Tony Scott Variety The four-hour opus, under producer Harvey Kahn, works hard to command attention, looks fine through Denis Lewiston's lensing and has a sense of authenticity thanks to designer Glenda Ganis.

Essien Shadow and Act The debut feature film of veteran actress Tasha Smith, the film showcases Smith's sharp directorial instincts, masterful shots, and nuanced storytelling.

      djanaybabyblue Captivating from beginning to ending! I enjoyed seeing Lance's performance as this was not his normal character he goes for. lol Mama did her thing as well! Tami Roman did a great job portraying the mother! I was on a journey from start to finish! This movie for sure keeps you on your toes! I definitely recommend! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/17/23 Full Review hayley b very well done by the director, great story telling and point of view, especially with narration and lighting in scenes. lil' mama is a great actress too. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Pretty good movie!!!! Great acting and the cast was pretty good as well!!! Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/07/18 Full Review Audience Member It's a real eye opener about the affects our decisions have on our lives. The affects our parents decisions can have on our lives. Wanting to be loved and accepting it however it comes about. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member Tasha killed it with this being her directorial debut. This is a must see film for any female/male dealing with domestic violence. God bless these families and thank you Tasha for telling this story so vividly. Mother's with daughters, please watch and have a heart to heart discussion with your daughters afterwards. I do not fee in any way that Tasha was being disrespectful to the families of the victims. It was more so to show the life of Falicia and why she became sinister based on the life and companion she chose to be with. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member I would like to see this movie the title itself looks interesting Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
