It just hit me

I stumbled over this movie on Amazon Prime and didn't expect anything special or even good. The low tempo and depressing opening didn't convince me that I would make it to the end. To be honest, I was playing 2048 while watching at first ...

But then. somehow, I forgot the game and sunk deeply into this story about loss, racism, politics which is also an insightful portrait of small town life.

This is not a "feel good movie" - not at all. But it made me feel with the characters deeply and left me impressed.

As I'm neither American nor black or gay I can't judge about the authenticity of the setting or scenery. I can only say that the characters and storyline felt authentic to me.

If you're a seeker of the deeper aspects of human life and humanity you will appreciate this movie. It hurts to watch.

Flawed but worthwhile

Yes, there are inconsistencies as other User Reviewers pointed it out, nevertheless the movie holds your attention and the main characters are well drawn. The complexities of the main female character are particularly interesting and touching. The first impression that she is a slovenly drug dependent slut is gradually replaced with the realization that she is capable of tender feelings and caring.

If near recent life in a school and life in rural Alabama is depicted accurately in this film, then we have all something to worry about. Actually I found this possibility (perhaps probability) more depressing than the tragic story line which is depressing enough.
