A Boy. A Girl. A Dream.

A lot of us african americans hate reliving that election...and this brought it back. BUT the whole story of these 2 meeting and getting together...kinda...well...FELT REAL. Not like storybook romance either - real. Their angst, the tension, the closeness. The movie was a bit dry, but again, there was feeling between the characters and that is what I liked most!

Even given the cast's pedigree, the film moves aimlessly slow. The interactions are genuine enough and the cinematography is the biggest positive of the movie. But too often it's uncomfortable silences when it shouldn't be. There's scenes that linger when they shouldn't. It feels like they were given a skeleton script and asked to fill in when needed, which they struggle to do at times.

Understandably, no one needs to know all the backstory, all the dialogue, all of everything to enjoy a movie. Hardwick's character seems so flawed and wide ranging (I guess LA type like Issa Rae says) and is almost the weight holding the movie down. All in all, it beautifully shot, reminiscent of Collateral in a way, but hard to pay attention to.

The cinematography is nice but the story like is like watching paint dry. I'm sorry but I didn't like it but I gave it slime stars because the music and camera angles. That's about it.

This movie could have been dont as a short film, maybe 15 to 20 minutes and conveyed the same. There are so many long moments of silence and it doesn't seem to serve a purpose or set a tone besides making the watcher feel slightly uncomfortable. This is the first time I was truly glad to see a movie end!

It was easy to watch for me . A good break from my usual thriller or drama movies that I love. It reveals simplistically the "coincidence" of love, attraction and .... But then I am a hopeless romantic 😍😍
