If I Can't

Gee, I didn't know black people were so oversexed and that every other word they use is profane. Wait... they aren't and they don't. But here they do. If you take out the profanity and gratuitous sex scenes you'd have a Tyler Perry film (sans Pollyannish ending). I don't know which is worse. That same ol' trope-abused and illogical sista has to fight her way through her personal crisis and her sadistic so-called "lover," blah-blah-blah. This film has it all-slaps, interchangeability between the b-word and the h-word, and a graphic rape scene. Monroe (who also wrote and directed) is Harlem, a widow whose husband was shot to death during a robbery. Now looking for new love, she meets Scott Da Rock (Fazekas) and after his charm offensive she falls for him. He's a hound and an abuser. This film is full of plot holes and is downright horrible. Is this what passes for a chick flick nowdays? Some reviewers must either be enamored with seeing black faces on-screen, or seeing black people on screen conforming to the worst stereotypes. Otherwise, how this got a 7.5 baffles me.

This was one wild ride for absolute sure. When this movie was recommended to me earlier today I had no idea what I was in for. I didn't know I was going to want to scream, cry and throw up by the end. For an indie film of its kind it is extremely well done and well acted-too well at times! The main character goes through so much and at the beginning she isn't entirely likable-but by the end you just want to hug her and protect her! Mena does such a good job with the character development! The guy who plays Scott has traumatized me for life and let me tell you- I am not easily traumatized! To me, movies like this are scarier than horror films. Brace yourself for this one folks. I hope to see them all in many more successful projects!!

This movie was a little too much for me watch, because I can not relate even as being African American. However, it makes me appreciative for my upbringing.

The plot of the movie could actually be based on a true story with a little extra added, because I have seen stuff like this on the news that regards family violence.

Normally, whenever I watch a movie I can like predict what's going to happen but this movie was unpredictable. I felt a little traumatized at the ended and cried.

I won't criticize the cast acting or anything because it's Tubi and it's FREE! Heck! I thought about making a Tubi movie once and I never acted a day in my life. Overall, I think all of the cast members did really well.

I love this movie! It's super real and the actors are amazing. The storyline is amazing; although, I have more questions the more I think about how it ended. It's definitely addictive and you'll want to watch it over and over again especially to see signs you missed the 1st time. Mena is an incredible director, I loved the variety of angles and how smooth the details were shown when they mattered for the plots. Crystal is an amazing actress, her character was very interesting and funny to me. Tristian played his part so well I'll never not call him Scott when I see him in other movies. I also wish there could have been a part 2 because the characters were too good to leave behind, maybe they could sneak a prequel in or something to give us more time with this cast and crew.

This was the worse movie or can I call it that. It had no true storyline. The main character/ lead went from a loving wife to a hoe and I still don't understand how.

All the time I kept wondering why would they cast this girl as the main lead...then I realized she's the one flipping the bill. Acting is definitely not her calling.

The transitions from scene to scene were bad; the characters and the relationships were very undeveloped. The plots and motives made no sense.

All the women had the exact same body, and very sexualized. The movie used language of 2020's but supposed to be set in the 2000.

I can't...
