I found this movie absorbing and it has left me exhausted having just watched it. I have read some of the other reviews and I do agree you have to get through the first ten minutes and allow the mum to be annoying, thats kind of the point. People often say somehting was a rollercoaster and this truly was. I lost count of how many times I thought, well thats a terrible stereotypical point of view only for one of the characters to call the other character out on it and thats how it goes on.
If you fast forwarded through it, if you didn't finish it then it is no wonder you found it boring or didn't understand it. It is from a play and is filmed as a play so there's no fighting or shoot outs or any real action of any kind. But the emotional turmoil is no less effective. The acting is top notch - actually if you do find the mum really annoying then that is really a compliment - and the ending is handled perfectly. It makes you think, it makes you wonder, it really is worth a look.
Kerry's depiction of a mother worries for her missing son is highly believable. The fact that she, who is black, is met by a young police officer, who is white, and that they have to grapple with their individual reactions to each other i.e. inexperience and all too common micro aggressions on his part and a different lived experience and suspicion on her part made for uncomfortable but riveting scenes. Also loved the scene between her and the more seasoned cop which, besides displaying an overuse of force by a black officer, also delivered some difficult truths.
I love that there were so many layers to the plot besides the scenes between the mother and the police officers. The film also succeeds in showing the aftermath of a marriage that has completely broken down and just how far people can drift from those first blissful moments in a relationship. Anyone whose ever been through a bitter break-up will surely recognize the truths in these scenes.
The transition from Broadway to television was, in my opinion, extremely well done. The focus was squarely on the four performers which is where it should be and not on a whole lot of Hollywood-type frills. Makes me wish I had seen the original play.

This is adapted from a Broadway play, and it plays out like one as well. One setting, four characters, if that's not your thing then maybe avoid it. A mixed-race couple at a police station await word on their son's involvement in a police incident. It gets intense and you will be angry and annoyed and more.
It's a little too timely and it cuts deep. It gives you a slight window into the reality of black America. Maybe it will open your minds or make you see things from another angle.

I have to disagree with many of the reviews for this movie. I wasn't great but it wasn't unnecessary. This was a Broadway play, which explains why the story seems without depth. The lack of perspective adds to the tension. You only know what you bring with you to the room and what the police slowly tell you.
What I did notice is that many reviewers hate racially charged topics. This is why we cannot seem to heal from them in this county. We've got to be able to face the ugly little truths.
Anyone that says this movie was one sided clearly lives a one sided life. At first the movie seems to be a cop smashing, white hating movie but it's not. This was one of the best middle ground, both sides represented movie I've ever seen. It explains both sides of the equation and I highly recommend all people see it it would be good to get a perspective from law enforcement as well as the African American side of life
