Leave your thoughts about Imperial Dreams.
| New YorkerRichard BrodyMalik Vitthal’s first feature gives rich dramatic life to a piercingly analytical view of the American way of incarceration. |
| RogerEbert.comSam FragosoLike the cyclical cycle of violence and poverty, "Imperial Dreams" mercilessly envelops you in its narrative and refuses to let you go until you've been moved. |
| Film InquiryNoah WelshImperial Dreams does not have the buzzing beats or flashing lights of most L.A. stories. Because of this, its characters feel real and its payoffs are gripping. |
| Examiner.comTravis HopsonImperial Dreams bucks the usual "ghetto drama" trend in its depiction of a father who refuses to fall back into the street life. |
| MTVInkoo KangLike the similarly quiet and thrumming Moonlight, Imperial is most affecting as an internal portrait of a young black man's struggle to embrace softness when the world tells him he has to be hard to survive. |
| ScreenAnarchyJason GorberImperial Dreams details the morally ambivalence of the situation in inner-city LA with beauty and grace, providing some of the most effective and memorable performances of the year. |
| User ReviewEvangelina YI loved this movie, sad reality of how the system iis set up for a black male to fail. Wished it was longer. |
| User ReviewLesinna WI love the authenticity of this movie. The performances by the actors were amazing. |
| User ReviewPavinder AReally enjoyed this movie, despite it being predictably sad and disheartening. John Boyenga is like a Denzel clone in this movie, in a good way. 8.5/10. |
| User ReviewEvan ROne of my top 3 favorites. Relentlessly honest examination into the life of an aspirational black man. |
