This film is great because it is one of the best representations to date of varied and different black people can be. It also does a good job of rich characters that are not stereotypes of what white society thinks black people are. The film conveys what it looks like when black community works.
The film explores the layers of what it means to start a new family which remains a part of a larger community matrix. How much independence is necessary for the nuclear unit? To what extent do other relatives play within matters internal to the marriage. Moreover there is the center of the kernel, which is how does one remember to love oneself while being powerfully in love. The film provides great food for thought at a multitude of levels.
This movie centers the black experience in the US in a way that is rewardingly refreshing. It is a story about how people can be surprisingly dynamic and unpredictable. It's also about how people respond when situations force them to be their true selves. The movie explores what it means to be naked and takes what comes while in that state. The movie's treatment of legacy was essential. Legacy needs to come solely from the heart without any influence from external pressures. That's when legacy is beautiful and unrestrained. By movie's end I wanted more.
