I'm going to start with the acting in this was fantastic all of the four characters did an amazing job in their own right. Kerry Washington was real honest believable. The topic is hard. But for people with brown skin the topic is real. What happened in this movie can happen to my husband my kids any of my relatives or friends that are brown skin. It's a burden that many African-American and parents of color carry with them every day when their children leave the house. This movie was excellent touching on so many topics between the couple between the mother and the son even the son and the father. People should watch the entire movie there's a lot to be learned from it on so many levels. It was a job very well done they got its point across.
