B-Boy Blues

Don't waste your time. The movie is poorly directed and the writing is stale and boring. Don't waste your time. There are film school movies that are more compelling than this garbage.

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 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.

B-Boy Blues is a complex film, with a script that doesn't go much further than being one more illustration of reality. It's hard to appreciate his efforts to portray another world when the speech itself falls short. The lack of concepts is just ridiculous.

Putting politics aside, the film was excellent. I was thinking I might see something like a YouTube flick, but this film is a cinematic accomplishment. It is well shot, great acting and a nice adaptation of the book- using current themes while staying true to the overall premise of the book. Great job for the director Jussie Smollet, whether you like him or not.
