Summertime

Finally, a movie that's not about white and privileged people trying to survive in L.A.

I liked the human expression of emotions for different kinds of "demons" as it's called in the film, and the mixed ethnicity of the characters.

I was a bit apprehensive when I first started the movie. But the flow of the words, the scenes, the beauty of it all. It was seamless. I would recommend this movie time and time again for those looking for a truthful and sometimes brutal confrontation to the identity of LA and those who live in it.

This is a film that doesn't sugar coat what it's like for most people who actually live in LA. In this movie, people take buses, wear second hand clothes, grab a burger, and tag buildings.

These poets write from their hearts and souls. They are young, They are proud and they are gifted. This is real life come to life in a movie that embraces the streets of LA... not with gangland warfare, not with drugs, but with real people who actually live there.

It is a joy to watch. You'll laugh, you'll cry and it'll leave you wanting more.

I love time frame movie like this but this was really bad. It was full of old cliches. There is a reason this film only grossed $72,000 US & Canada with opening weekend at $21,490. It took a while for someone like Netflix to even decide to show it.
