It starts off with an unlikely scenario. What teenager in any era but especially in Jim Crow South would try to bring her black boyfriend into her room to spend the night knowing how racist her father is, knowing everyone in the family is home, & thinks she could have sex with him & sneak him out before anyone wakes up or hears them? More likely they would have sex some place else & get caught by a spy but to think she could get away with bringing him home to a house full of people & not get caught is so ridiculous. Also there are so many scenes shot in the dark that are SO dark I can't see what's happening on the screen. All I see is my own reflection on my black tv screen. Then there's the flow of the plot, I feel like there are scenes missing ( besides the ones shot in the dark). Like the presentation of the trinket box & it's contents. They just jump to the necklace & argue. I feel like I should have known something about the box & it's contents before this conversation. Ava says she was raised as an only child not like the girl in the beginning who had a sister & two brothers & I feel she has no connection to the opening scene other than she has a black husband who doesn't receive a fraction of the racism as the begining couple at all.
