It could've been really great, but I just found it all a little too... much. Much, as in very overwhelming directing. Something about me really tired me, really wore me out. That's a weird criticism, I'm aware, but that's really why I didn't like it more. it's not bad though, and I appreciate what it set out to do. The acting is generally good too. Despite how I felt about it though, I'm surprised the film didn't gain more traction throughout awards season. Really, I can see why so many people haven't found this all that good (although the issue of it being about what African Americans go through is also a significant factor to take into consideration). overall, I personally wouldn't really recommend it.
