Rashaad Ernesto Green delivers a poignantly portrayed story of family in a struggle of acceptance not generally understood by the populace. A well written script executed with precision and depth by Esai Morales, Judy Reyes and Harmony, it is refreshingly in your face, raw and honest.
The film balances comedy, pain, love and tears remarkably well and strips away the veil of a somewhat uncomfortable story. I particularly enjoyed Esai Morales. Throughout the film I felt he could explode at any moment and he was masterful at both containing it and revealing that nature.
Gun Hill Road will shatter your misperceptions, make you think, cause laughter, evoke remembrance, break your heart, mend it sideways, and leave you sighing. Bravo Rashaad, Bravo!
