It was a beautiful, tender, thought provoking way to tell a difficult story. Aside from the sexual scenes, which I never like in any movie, I give it an A+. By the way, those scenes were done impeccably and a stunning portrayal of losing one's virginity.
I am so saddened that black men are still struggling in American society and that the system treats them so unfairly. If any project can reach people as to the truth of what is really going on, this film does the job.
