This movie was so good but very troubling, as it tells a very sad and horrific story of a child forced into being a solider to survive. Beautiful and realistic cinematography, this raw film held my attention from beginning to end. Watch it! All the actors were amazing as well. My heart aches for the main character throughout the piece, as he longed for his mother and had the deepest conversations with God about his circumstances.

This was a different kind of drama and I appreciate it. Raw, gritty, and intriguing. It touches on a variety of relationship issues, from mothers raising sons to Black love. Moreover, it speaks to several different harsh realites in America today, especially for people of color, including a horrible social service system and gentrification. Also, kudos to Teyanna Taylor. She played the heck out of this role. You can see her New York roots through and through. It's worth the watch.
