User Reviews

Nicole Beharie hits a home run.

A low-budget indie drama that takes place almost entirely in a single space and deals with the conflict between two very different individuals, one a white male and the other a black female. Both are suffering from their own personal demons and in the end are able to finally combat them and change for the better. As low key as it is, the story itself throws some pretty shocking revelations at the viewer and is very heavy on dialogue. Nicole Beharie gives a powerhouse performance as a woman suffering from bipolar disorder and is on the very edge of killing herself. She manages to be terrifying, sexy, riveting, and hilarious throughout, and sometimes even all at once. It'll be a crime if her performance in this doesn't lead to many more roles in the near-future. Christopher J. Domig holds his own well, giving a quiet, calculated performance full of complexity and controlled rage. This is a very, very slow film, so it obviously won't appeal to everyone. I saw it at the Pan African Film Festival and at least two people fell asleep, but thankfully, everyone else was able to appreciate it for the challenging, perceptive film it truly is.
