When the world lost Chadwick Boseman on August 28, 2020, we all saw the impact of representation in film. Boseman was not only a Black superhero leading a Black cast in one of the most successful films in history; but his successes paved the way for more, long-overdue diversity in Hollywood.
Considering the runtime, I expected each scene to hit harder as opposed to a series of montages and vignettes.
This film is a splendid mix of mediums, but its strength lies in its simplicity and beautiful message of closeness.
This reboot of The Wonder Years is told from the lens of a Black man.
The film may be a thriller, but I wasn’t thrilled by it. If anything, I was bored and annoyed.
