Imani's Story

This movie explores a little bit of everything. There were so many elements that people could relate to - from sexual trauma to PTSD to mommy and daddy issues and the list goes on. Would love to see some of these explored in more depth in a possible sequel. Shouts out to the writer and director, the actors, and everyone else involved; y'all really made this come to life.

A few constructive critiques:

• I wanted to see the relationship between Imani and her guy friend explored deeper. Their relationship was kind of left on a hanger.

• The sound was off at some points
• There were so many topics explored in this film. Again, I would love to see maybe more focus on 1-3 specific topics to really captivate the audience.

I would say this movie has definitely contributed to my healing and helped me think about other trauma (ie: male sexual abuse) that I hadn't considered before. Thank you for that <3.

Imani story was a very great movie. I like the fact that it hits close to home. You could feel the emotion through the screen from the characters. This is definitely a great watch ! I'm hoping for a sequel:) Imani went through a lot in the movie and I loved how the story kept going back to her past showing what lead up to what was going on currently. There's many others who experienced what she did in the movie ! Jamel Furlow is a phenomenal writer and I look forward to more movies from him!!! Nowadays many movies are too fictional but his movie was on point and very thought out you can tell that he worked very hard on this movie and did not rush it!

OMG!!!! For it to be the writers first movie production, is awesome! He has allot of potential in his work. I usually do not look at movies or picture request but my Bae and I spent our quality movie time watching this masterpiece. We are so wanting the writer and creator to make a part two. I wonder if he has written a book because it gives that type of feel. Like he written a book, then decide to take it to the screen. We do not know this writers time schedule, but can he fit in to create a part two? LOL! Many successful blessings, and with many other productions like this; I can see him up there with all the greats! Well Done Sir!

I'm posting about this movie to get others to watch.

This movie is a great watch! I truly enjoyed it because the main character Imani is a smart, artistic but very resilient young lady. She struggles to overcome alot of trauma from her rough past. Her story is raw, real and mirrors so many stories of the youth in todays world. Like many of us, her feelings, her actions and her decisions all stem from her up bringing.( sometimes that could result in good or bad) I appreciate how it all concluded to her getting on the road of healing. The writer and director did an awesome job with this film. Im definetly looking forward to a part 2 or a spin off to this movie.

This movie touched my heart in so many ways. Being a black girl once myself and learning how to navigate life pushing through every trial and tribulation. Imani is such a relatable character and you want her to win and overcome every obstacle she faces within this film. The pace and unveiling of her truths and the experiences that shaped her were thought out so well and executed appropriately. The use of New York as a backdrop was very nostalgic and so raw.

I'm glad someone has brought back a film that told a story in the most authentic way. I look forward for more films from Jamel Furlow and the production team. Beautiful job.
