S/O to the legend T.C Carson, as well as the cast that actually looked very good on screen. As for the handling of the subject matter, personally I think it is very insensitive and crude to have this movie exist, while as an African-American community, we strive for PROPER representation and dialogue surrounding the mental health sigma.
This movie essentially waters down a serious diagnosis, gives an unrealistic treatment scenario and ends up having the viewer borderline scared of a black man with the particular disorder.
What about the spectrum? What about true long term community support? And the resolution at the end served no true help towards a person who may be looking at this film to gain a shred of hope for understanding.
This film set the conversation back. Significantly. I wish Mr. Carson had spoken up more in the development because his efforts were dually noted as a compassionate and well spoken therapist.
However, overall this film is a lewd portrayal of what many black men facing this affliction or anything similar face. If you're watching this for educational purposes...please don't take it to heart and search for a different example.
