Nineteen Summers

This a sad fuqkin movie, don't even know how come i've watched it the whole way through. Same old story to teach young homies who like drugs guns and hiphop that they should get a new lifestyle and horrrors of the 'hood'. good visuals and all but boring and annoying script

Emonjay Brown gives a very authentic performance as DeAndre in this very real coming-of-age film. The pacing of this film and structure interested me, drawing the viewer into the entanglements of the so-called justice system with the lead character so you feel you're experiencing your own one life stopped, powerless against forces on both sides of the law, yet striving none the less to make one's own life. The ending leaves much to think about, with a hauntingly beautiful final sequence fleeing toward a foregone conclusion. The chapter breaks are poetically named and evoke an auteur's sensibility about his story.

A movie where you can see the boom fishpole operated by the boom operator and get recorded on the film without proper fix

Some really strong performances and strong story telling carry this indie film about a young man seeking a better life in the midst of a gang war.

Racism in the judicial system. Great storytelling. Very raw and gritty which runs the message across as it should be. Real. Great watch! Recommended!
