Don't expect more or less of this movie. Simply enjoy it.
It's not bad and it's not great. It's SIMPLE. A calm relaxing movie about a young fellow becoming a man. This is the kind of a movie you could enjoy after a hard day of work with a beer on your hand.
Some of the characters might be fiction but they are metaphorical. Barry's love interest is a representative for white privilege and the pressure that Barack endured of being mixed and also around and white--ish.
The other friends represent the other part of Barry. The proud African- American Barry, way back to his roots. The movie deals with two parts divided and Barrack being in the middle, not knowing where to fit in, what's he gonna do, what's his next move, is he up for it, who Barrack is (Barry or any other one)?
8/10 You gotta watch it but with a simple an refreshing mind. You'll enjoy it.
