One of the best coming of age stories ever! Spike Lee is such a genius. Zelda Harris really shined in this enthralling story of living and loving while black in the 70's. This story could have easily been a set in the early 80's as well, before the drug epidemic began. I watched this recent for the 100th time, lol, as I braided my daughters hair. She loves it. I think this will be the movie we watch on hair day from here on out.
