Must watch all the way through.

Big fan of this woman here. I waited for the plot twist so long and like a high taking over the body it finally came. I will not put the spoilers in her, but what I will say is I like everybit of the movie. I can tell the girl took her time in her story line. Ms. Mena you may never read this, but I want you to know damn what any other critic has to say. I like the way you wrote it which as a man evoked some powerful emotion which is what storytelling is supposed to do. The scene where Harlem's mom put her finger to the boyfriends head had me losing my mind as I hate the audacity black women feel its ok to do things like that, but more importantly my guy kept his composure and hit her where it hurt. Keep doing your thing girl you inspire even men like me that is up and coming. I acted in and produced The Other Dude by Roye Strawder, and will just say if you watch it. I hope you get a laugh, and I promise it will be better on the upcoming movie Strangle( 2023)

Self Gratuitous Mess

This was the worse movie or can I call it that. It had no true storyline. The main character/ lead went from a loving wife to a hoe and I still don't understand how.All the time I kept wondering why would they cast this girl as the main lead...then I realized she's the one flipping the bill. Acting is definitely not her calling.The transitions from scene to scene were bad; the characters and the relationships were very undeveloped. The plots and motives made no sense.All the women had the exact same body, and very sexualized. The movie used language of 2020's but supposed to be set in the 2000.I can't...

More Black Trauma Played Out As Normal

Gee, I didn't know black people were so oversexed and that every other word they use is profane. Wait... they aren't and they don't. But here they do. If you take out the profanity and gratuitous sex scenes you'd have a Tyler Perry film (sans Pollyannish ending). I don't know which is worse. That same ol' trope-abused and illogical sista has to fight her way through her personal crisis and her sadistic so-called "lover," blah-blah-blah. This film has it all-slaps, interchangeability between the b-word and the h-word, and a graphic rape scene. Monroe (who also wrote and directed) is Harlem, a widow whose husband was shot to death during a robbery. Now looking for new love, she meets Scott Da Rock (Fazekas) and after his charm offensive she falls for him. He's a hound and an abuser. This film is full of plot holes and is downright horrible. Is this what passes for a chick flick nowdays? Some reviewers must either be enamored with seeing black faces on-screen, or seeing black people on screen conforming to the worst stereotypes. Otherwise, how this got a 7.5 baffles me.
