if this was based on a book, the book would’ve been better
there’s a plethora of nyc based films that make the city look “aesthetic”, but few manage to nail the uptown vibrancy as masterfully as parks does. sure, plot + character development are wanting, but i saw this as less of a “movie” and more so a love letter to harlem and tailored trench coats (hardly short of a perfect premise).
watched this mid-6 hr flight departing jfk (and my beloved harlem apt) to a place that’s as culturally destitute as a US state can be, so that probably had me feeling extra ~immersed~
the credits could’ve rolled at any point after the half hour mark and it would have made just as much sense (albeit with less wailing)
LOVE the costume design—those angular shoulder pads could’ve come straight from saint laurent or demna’s balenciaga
