    Loved it, the movie told more than one story, if you actually can tell.
    It told the story line of the movie, some of the black experience and some of the white experience. It told of how we as a people look at each other and the sick minds of man.
    Watching this movie can tell you...( read more) more than you know.

    It is not the most eloquent in dialogue, characterization, etc, but the message is clear, crisp, biting and refreshing. It leaves you with both frustration and hope.

    A poorly structured film, trite writing, the acting is overzealous and the story is overstated. The film is so busy trying to be significant and important it neglects to entertain.

Claudia Puig, USA Today

Despite an earnest and dour tone, the story and the subjects tackled are compelling and thought-provoking. full review
