    Confusing conceptually

    I am confused by the idea of a film where the protagonist is an up and coming singer whom we never hear sing.

    I spent the entire runtime trying to figure out what the director was trying to say by structuring the movie the way it was and have come up short.

    Arguably one of the least engaging movies I've seen to date.

    IT WAS HORRIBLE!!!

    This was a total waste of time! I guess the reason that I watched was because it had Niecy Nash Sharon stone and Giancarlo Esposito. The story line was hella weak and the cinematography was awful.

    AND WHY DID SHE NEVER SING??? I.

    So Boring!

    Like others said she NEVER sings!! All she does is fight with her family, hangout with her girlfriend (lover), smoke weed and cigarettes and watch music videos of famous black singers. Ugh, Don't waste you time!

    A singer you never hear sing

    A movie about a young singer you actually never hear sing. I found it boring as you never to really know the characters or feel sympathy for any of them. Don't waste your time watch something else.

    Movie About An Upcoming Singer That Never Sings!

    Lena Waite TV/Movie projects are usually well constructed with exceptional direction, timing and great dialogue but this movie takes the viewer into several sporadic directions down a rabbit hole.
