Realistic and riveting...
19 June 2023
This film brings back so many memories of my childhood...it is for me, poignant, as I remember how we struggled growing up in Compton-the poverty, the infidelity, the arguments...all were a part of everyday life for us.

I love that it's filmed in black and white. The way the mother fusses and the children, the infrequent shows of affection are powerful...the father's tendency to want to escape while the mother stays focused (even as the friend encourages her to cheat)-all so excellently portrayed by the actors.

I was curious as to what happened to the actors. I couldn't find anything on Nate Hardman but I did learn that Kaycee Moore passed away in 2021.
