Slow paced, this screenplay was not only predictable, it was largely one dimensional in character scope, rote and almost mundane in its execution. I fear they’re doing Siriboe dirty by refusing to give him much to stretch himself against. He feels almost typecast here, and despite him displaying a broader range of emotions that he normally does on Queen Sugar, he still didn’t feel real. He sure is pretty to watch on anything though. The hair and make up, costume design and lighting in the film were impeccable though. I wanted to shop in the wardrobe department, cop earrings, steal shoes... Gosh... but the way I shouted at the immaturity of the characters! Why allyuh nuh talk, nah? It presents this Black relationship in this very flat, uninspired way, and the characters their choices and motivations seemed so familiar... oh wait. lovejones wore it better and came to a better conclusion. The final fifteen minutes felt rushed, to the point of abrupt end. That made me feel that much of what went previously should have been better condensed and structured to allow for some kind of end that didn’t leave a brassy taste in my mouth. Skip this...

It moved really slow but I was able to get into the actual love story.
