I had the pleasure of watching the film, Kings of the Evening at the San Diego Black Film Festival where it swept four awards including "BEST PICTURE. It also premiered at the Pan African Film Festival where it received Oscar Micheaux honors. It deserves all of the recognition and I hope it continues to win more awards at festivals. The story is beautiful and the actors definitely took the audience on a journey. Glynn Turman and Lynn Whitfield had so much chemistry and were definitely at their best! Vets like Bruce McGill and James Russo were also superb. I recommend watching this film if you get a chance. I feel it will be a timeless classic. It is not often that I see an audience so responsive with laughter and applause. Rarely films make me cry and this one certainly did! The film really speaks about love and compassion, which is something lacking in the entertainment industry these days. Where can I get a copy?
