Jurnee is old enough to play a parent now. I’m officially a dinosaur.
"you ever had a dream so big you thought you were awake?" This line, the color grading, the music and the entire trailer as a whole gave me Beasts of the Southern Wild vibes. I'm so excited for this film now.
I like how they're showing black kids can be just that kids. Because, alot of shows movies and on the news they make it like black are just rowdy grown folks out the gate
Oh man, I can already tell this is gonna kick my ass
The film seems so important! Yes little black boys too have dreams and innocence! It’s important that films show them having that!
80's baby, from the southside of Chicago, had family in Cabrini, but I lived in the Robert Taylors!...my grandma was in 5100 State, then my my mom moved us to 5323 South Federal in 87. This is a film I HAVE to see, because I was that kid who felt like that.🙏🏿
It feels like a film everyone probably should watch but probably few will actually do it.
Need more films on blk male friendships and the nuance that comes with it
This looks and feels like an indie movie worth a damn! 😭
ive already seen the movie! my girlfriend has a big role and i was able to attend the chicago film festival, even though she was unable to go due to the strike! we had a big party beforehand to celebrate! this movie was rated a 91% and I’d definitely say that’s an accurate score! so excited to see it (again), with her, when it’s released in mid April 💗
Im shocked but so glad this is rated PG. I don’t have to worry about gross scenes or excessive bad language. It’s rare to find any drama post 2010 that’s rated PG, even films with a young cast.
I really don't wanna cry. I've cried enough already this year.
I hope a lot of people see this one
Gives me the vibes that Inevitable Defeat of Mister and Pete gave.
You already know this is going to be gold just by watching this trailer.
I'm going to be patiently waiting for an opportunity to see this one.
Movies showcasing the optimism and wonder of Black youth will always get my heart.
I used to live in a Cabrini Green high rise building glad i made it out of there
I will be there, especially growing up in my town I could relate to the boys and their story from what I've got to witness in the trailer. Great job!
This movie seems like when you taking an edible and remember your childhood and that one kid that moved away
