CGiii Comment
Black gay cinema, at last, makes an impressive mark.
The acting is fine, as is the direction.
The story: a moving account of the Harlem renaissance...paralleled with a modern experience - that slightly weakens the story, unfortunately...but, it is a good film and it does show, without doubt, that black gay cinema has a future that eclipses the abominable Noah's Arc crap.
Evans is definitely a director on the up.
