Movie Reviews

New York Magazine/Vulture - 10/10 by John Leonard... it is more than welcome, full of generous quotations and ancestor worship-a memory book, a bildungsroman, and practically a palimpsest, with the past written over but not at all erased, still signifying.
Chicago Reader - 10/10 by Richard PortonEvans's admirable desire to introduce a misunderstood era's legacy to a wider public helps to excuse the film's occasional clunky dialogue and narrative longueurs.
AALBC.com - 10/10 by Kam WilliamsA refreshingly-honest empowerment flick set against an historical examination of African-American homosexuality.
Hollywood Reporter - 9/10 by Kirk HoneycuttThis first feature from writer-director Rodney Evans ... heralds the emergence of an exciting new voice in black filmmaking, a man willing to look deeply into culture and mores to gain insight into problems that refuse to go away.
Planet Sick-Boy - 9/10 by Jon PopickA real treat for history nuts, but everybody else should dig it, too.
Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 9/10 by Dennis SchwartzHonestly, sensitively and movingly covers the life struggles of black, gay artists in the present and past.
Variety - 8/10 by David RooneyThe film's transitions between periods are not entirely seamless and its discourse often becomes didactic. However, the depth and intelligence it brings to issues of black politics and sexuality could help carve an appreciative theatrical audience in upscale gay and/or urban niches.
Village Voice - 8/10 by Jorge MoralesFirst-timer Rodney Evans's leaden script fails to live up to the poetry of its subjects and raises more themes--black-on-black homophobia, light-skin versus dark-skin prejudice, writers' envy--than it can fully develop.
Entertainment Weekly - 8/10 by Lisa SchwarzbaumFirst-time writer-director Rodney Evans makes a ballsy leap into historical fantasia, with heartfelt fervor outrunning stray moments of artistic gawkiness.
Philadelphia Inquirer - 8/10 by Carrie RickeyHas the quiet urgency of a story that must be told.
