Great Movie. Difficult subject matter to handle in a movie but director pulls it off beautifully. Acting really carries the film with the fine performances by lance gross and nicole beharie. Both actors, and the supporting cast, make this movie work as entertainment but with a message to not just young black men but to all the boys who aspire to become professional athletes. Gross' new role in the Crisis shows he is not just a one hit wonder. But this movie, Last Fall, allows us to really see his acting skills. Keep up the good work Cherry.
As for the ending of movie Cherry does it once again and lands the dismount reasonably well. The only drawback in the movie is it inadvertently condones single mother status that is so prevalent in the AA community. Otherwise, the more important message to "stay in school and don't be no fool" seems worth it.
