A rare coming of age film about poverty, race and homosexuality
A moving film finally showing homosexuality in the black community. Don't expect the sugar coating of Brokeback Mountain which seems like The Sound of Music in comparison. It shows the layers of extreme difficulty living as a black man, in a poverty stricken area, surrounded by peers who think one way, and attempting to break free from a drug fuelled mother and the dealers around her. It's visually beautiful and the quiet dialogue highlights the protagonist's wonderful acting.
