    quite moving, undoubtably stunning camera work and the montages of archival and constructed images, all the disappearing and reappearing, I found very effective at times. I did not find the pov to be distracting, gimmicky or confusing— on the contrary it added a depth and texture to the storytelling. RaMell Ross is very skilled. On the subject of POV, I do think some of you sound like losers and need to learn how to lock in.  

    that being said,…

    quite the visual ode to this place I live in. I find it hard watching mother x daughter relationships play out on screen — I’m always getting defensive and worked up. I feel so protective of girls that age..it’s what makes me want and not want to have children.

    that being said, I wonder how satisfying it might have been to hear any adult in my family say that they wondered if I would turn out to be a lesbian. 

    You have a forthrightness and a kind of aggressive quality
