    If you don't like it, you're probably a colonizer

    This movie very accurately depicts something that's not only relative to DC natives, but black inner city residents almost everywhere. Having displaced friend groups, not due to the "average" coming of age reasons like college or careers but having friends lost due to gun violence, or mass incarceration; I've not seen a movie so vividly convey the emotions survivors of gun violence, or white supremacy as well as this movie did.

    I accidentally deleted my original review

    And that sht was long at. so here's a short version:

    most movies suck they have boring perspectives they have a frame of reference that's alien to me

    but this film very well paced beautifully shot the characters felt real and the story was way too real I cried a lot the ending exactly the right move and it hit hard

    good stuff

    Best movie of 2020

    Residue is an amazing portrayal of gentrification and the way police, realtors, etc displace Black people. The movie is sure to hurt some white people's feelings because of how truthful it is.

    Sight and sound

    I feel that through imagery this film shows how trauma effects all of a persons senses.
    10joshdantonio

    Wow, just wow

    This film is so powerful. The way it's shot, the flash backs, the way the director played with light and perspective. It really is great. I had to sit and reflect after watching. This film sticks with you.
