The Black Sea

The Black Sea is such a perfect indie gem! It's about a Black man who finds himself in Bulgaria and has to navigate this totally unexpected situation. The story is funny, touching, and so well-acted. The characters feel super real, which makes it easy to get invested in their lives. It never feels cliché, although it can be a little slow moving at times.

I'm also pretty sure this is the director's first movie, and honestly, he he did a pretty amazing job. I watched it in New York, and the director was there afterwards to hang out and talk about the film. You could really tell how much heart he put into it.

Definitely worth watching!
