This movie went no where. I don't even know what the point was. Don't waste your time.

I struggled through the first 25 minutes or so watching Kerry Washington's character argue with the white cop for so long. I felt like this part didn't need to go on for so long. Once the husband showed up, the storyline began to form a little more and I became more invested in it, the whole time anticipating what happened to the son, Jamal It definately left me thinking about race and humanity in general afterwards. I did not know until after I watched the movie that this was originally a Broadway play that was adapted to the big screen and it definately felt like watching a play with the solo set and dialogue-filled scenes. I think it is worth the watch though. Gives you different perspectives and a lot to think about.

Personally, the one thing that kept crossing my mind through this whole movie was how selfish the mother was to commit suicide knowing it would leave her 2 year old child alone in the home.
