    A very interesting movie to say the least, it gos between exploring perceptions of life and emotions to absurdity very quickly. The movie kept me engaged throughout but I felt very unsettled, a strong piece of art. Amazing acting

    An incredibly moving piece of filmmaking. To see men display emotions and be so vulnerable was very comforting. This movie humanized people who normally aren't thought of often. The acting was incredible, the writing felt very natural. Colman Domingo had an outstanding performance, as he mentions in the movie, "anger is easy to portray, what is more difficult is vulnerability" and he delivers on this, truly a practice what you preach moment

    A beautiful film through and through. I love the long drawn out single takes that pan around the set following characters. I was a wee bit hesitant on watching something in the film noir category but this surpassed my limited expectations. The cinematography was dynamic yet the story was slow, in the best way, following life in a natural way. The acting was also amazing, each character felt real, part of it was also probably because of the casting, having an actual indigenous woman play the role of one. A very human movie, highly reccomend (c:

    Great short watch, feels like a satisfying chapter of a book, in this case a satisfying chapter in JGL's life, the relationships between the characters stood out more than the characters themselves which I found comforting.
