    Unfavourable reviews from petty youths?

    Not going to lie, I do love a bleak movie and more than anything this film demonstrated the lack of glamour in the world of pimps hustling to make a buck. Keke Palmer's Wednesday is conflicting and hard to love but she rolls out the part beautifully, Hayley Ramm's long suffering Nikki is also a beautiful character eliciting so much emotion as a girl doing whatever she needs to keep her 'momma' happy and that dream alive. Vanessa Morgan as Destiny is by the numbers and Aunjanue Ellis as Wednesday's mother draws comparisons with Monique's stellar turn in 'Precious'

    But the standout for me was Edi Kathegi's amazing run as the unhinged, merciless Psycho Pimp, Kenny! Edi brought some chops.

    Whilst this isn't an Oscar winner it deserves a nod for its ambition and its deep characterisations maybe they could have spread that a little further but a good effort nonetheless.

    A perilous dream

    Ambitious little film that tries very hard to make it's point, KeKe Palmer step into a role that's out of type and nails it, other than that, it all over the place and leans into exploitation territory with the thin plot, with more time and character development and better story detail it would been much better than it tried to be,I am not going to pick this film apart , it is good late night viewing and not a bad film altogether .

    Heartbreaking.....

    Keke is incredible.....what a brilliant performance. Broke my heart to see her character's struggle. she brought her A game and so did the rest of the cast. I'm blown away by the simplicity yet complexity of the story.

    Bravo to the filmmaker!!!! two thumbs up!!!

    WOW Impressed with this powerful movie

    I really didn't expect that at all. I expected low budget and bad acting but i gave it a shot and glad I did. A ghetto love story so powerful and realistic that it pulled my heart strings, Great job.

    (Pimp) the story of Kenny

    Make a prequel about Kenny the pimp he was a way better character. In my opinion Kenny made the movie more interesting. I would love to see his story on the Big screen.
