Two Black Boys in Paradise tries so hard to be meaningful

Two Black Boys in Paradise tries so hard to be meaningful, but it ends up feeling shallow and forgettable. The story never lands emotionally, the pacing is awkward, and the whole thing feels more like a school project than a polished short film. The narration doesn't save it, the visuals don't elevate it, and the message gets lost in all the pretentious presentation.
