The inner saboteur really became his downfall LOL. I understand the intent and what the filmmakers are going for in terms of the story and social commentary, but there’s no reason for it to be this boring, uneventful, and predictable. The cast is solid tho. David Oyelowo…

From the outset of “Newborn,” writer/director Nate Parker’s discombobulated psychological thriller opts for tawdry genre conventions over consistent human grounding. In the taxing opening, Chris (David Oyelowo, the film’s producer) is nestled with his wife Tara (Olivia…

Cried my eyes out. This is real life. Every day, every year the system wrongfully incarcerates and fails Black women and men. Some make it through their sentence and are released but never given help/assistance--or the system makes it extremely difficult for them to get…

Tricked by a cleverly edited trailer again! They made it seem like this would be a twisted psychological horror. What it was: a 'The Shining' inspired (sorta) criticism of racism, the prison industrial complex, and it's effects on mental health. The concept:…
