Flesh and blood 

The film reminds us to remember the people who had the courage and dignity that had made the world better, even when the memory was absent.

I'm bad, and that's good. I will never be good, and that's not bad. There's no one I'd rather be than me.

Not every silence is empty. Some are filled with things too heavy for words.

That gut-wrenching feeling you have while watching it is okay but needed, and you, the viewer, will be okay.

A surprise sequel takes place ten years after the original movie based on the title of the same name, but with a twist to the fairy tale.

The Gates, John Burr’s new thriller film, is a disturbingly realistic portrayal of three Black twenty-somethings - Derek (Mason Gooding), Kevin (Algee Smith), and Tyon (Keith Powers), as they accidentally take a wrong turn into a gated community that’s more like a modern-day sundown town. The three friends witness a variety of crimes in their new surroundings, including an attempted homicide and an attempted rape. As they attempt to alert the authorities and do the right thing, they are thwarted at every turn by the worst horror stories of American conservatism - racist white suburbanites, reckless gun violence, corrupt police, religious mania, and a megalomaniacal pastor.
