    Pretty good
    I couldn't disagree more with the person who described the film as "dreadful."

    I am no great critic of film but I saw this film at the Philadelphia International Gay & Lesbian Film Festival (PIGLFF) and enjoyed it and was ultimately moved by it.

    I detected a moment of spotty acting in an early scene; otherwise, I found the film to be professional and polished. It deals with themes of parenting, maturation, relations across generations, race, friendship, sexuality, homophobia, perception, the life, role and integrity of an artist in one's culture.

    It provides an interesting and enticing view into the Harlem Renaissance, a place and time I was not that familiar with.

    It was well received by the audience I viewed it with, and I recommend it.
