I wish I could watch it but I can’t support because of Jon Bernthal.

I saw this the other day (limited release 💅🏼) and I found it really powerful and well-acted even if I didn't love its portrayal of the writing process. Lots of dramatic underlining on white boards and whatnot.

Oh written by Ava... well. I KNEW THIS SHIT WAS GOING TO BE SOME BLACK TRAUMA BS. No!

You make her sound like the Swirl Historian Amma Asante.

Is that the Black woman and Nazi love movie person

[lovelylaura23]

Yesss. Lol

The reviews making fun of it are still hilarious.

I read the book and I'm kind of surprised to see it portrayed in a story form. It was a remarkable book and really hard to get through and definitely more of a documentary type. Either way, I'll definitely go see it.

This looks really good! I want to read the book soon tho.
