So I was lucky enough to snag some TIFF peoples choice awards tickets and saw a showing of this film and... I have a lot of thoughts. It's an insanely thought provoking movie of the treatment of black stories in Hollywood and in novelizations, but it also talks about the categorization of Black People in the Caucasian perspective. I thought the actual direction and acting were very good throughout the film (not Oscar worthy but good), but i found the actual screenplay to not go as deep as it needed to, nor did it try too hard with the substance when it comes in context to the shapement of Black voices in a Caucasian-driven hollywood. It was a good movie, don't get me wrong- but the two other programs i saw at TIFF i thought were far superior.
