B-Boy Blues

I have been waiting for the day when this novel would actually become a movie and here we are. It captured pretty much everything from the novel but brought it to present day. I found myself watching it at least 3 times so far. It was refreshing to see another aspect of the SGLBTQ+ communities instead of the standard stereotypical portrayal. I recognized a couple of the actors from TV and web series. My hope is that if this is hit that Jussie and Mr. Hardey will direct and produce another movie from the B-Boy Series. All I can say is thank you.

I liked that this movie had some negative aspects to the main character's relationship. You can tell this movie had a certain budget to work with to get produced... but overall I loved the storyline.

This movie may lose some points with timing and cinematography but it will be the stepping stone for many more mainstream same gender movies epitomizing loving relationships and meaningful friendships chronicling POC!

Very impressive. It gives a bit of early Spike Lee's jittery cam style set in Brooklyn. It also is an honest tale of the black b boy gay culture whose narrative is brazenly missing in the LGBTQ film arena. The acting was great all around and if her role was longer rapper/talk show host Heather B who played a supporting role could have easily received an Oscar nod for Supporting Actress as her role of the caring auntie.

I found it hard to get engaged with this film. Some of the scenes seemed a little disjointed. The acting was just okay. Lots of eye candy, almost too much. Not everyone looks like a GQ model. I had high expectations for this story because the book was wonderful.
