    A Touching Love Story That Feels Real, Honest, and Beautiful
    Cicada is a love story what isn't a story I've lived but it feels like I have. This is because the film is rooted in so many human truths and moments that feel plucked from real life. It deals with race, love, trauma, sex, and sexuality in ways that I haven't often seen on screen. It's doesn't immediately win you over but carefully and purposeful unfolds bringing you deeper into the story, the world, the characters. It's a film I love and I think you should watch it.
