This was an atypical African American story that was brought to the screen beautifully and really shows how talented actors, a great story, and a talented director with a vision can transcend the "low budget" stigma. I am proud that this film, an African American film, showed how this can be accomplished. The lead actress, Layla Kayleigh, gives a surprising performance and warms the screen with her beautiful smile. Wallace Demarria', the lead actor, gives the film it's heart and displays a vulnerability on screen without coming off as weak. A few notable performances by the some of the supporting cast and an underused Ella Joyce help to bring the whole package together. Overall, a truly entertaining and enjoyable film.
