As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
The first must-see film of the year.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Kind of went off a little over half way through... Liked the way it ended...

In a sea of one star and ten star reviews, I thought it would be nice to share my balanced and concise viewpoint on the film.The film is about a bullied boy's transgression into a man. The film gave a nice insight into a life of ethnicity-based poverty, drug addiction and social exclusion. I enjoyed the cinematography and the acting was superb. The script is often non-existent, but I particularly enjoyed the ability of the film to progress the story through acting alone. Overall, I liked the film. However, I soon thought about other films that I rated as an '8'. The film didn't make me question anything, neither did it wow me. It nicely reiterated what I already knew in a 3-part story. For this reason, I rated the film as a '7'. Watch the film, but don't be carried by the hype as some other reviewers obviously were.
I have read a few of the very negative reviews. And I think I can understand, that everyone has a very different 'take' on the journey that is their life. So i'm only going to say that this movie moved 'me'. It is a story that I relate to in terms of the isolation that sometime happens to a life through being Gay (or perhaps many other reasons) it seems to me this movie told a simple story very well. We all search for an acceptable version (of ourselves) and we all search for connections with others so that we can recognize that we are human. I have no cultural connection to the setting (african American, drug use etc) of this story, but I found a true connection to the humanity of it.
