I was a little worried because I knew it would be intense. I needn't have worried - The performances are outstanding. Every actor excels in their role. The two young actors who play the protagonist's childhood and teen years are outstanding. Watch Trevante Rhodes play an adult gay man with finesse and sensitivity. He is outstanding. It is a story about tough neighbourhoods and tougher choices for a young black man being raised by a drug-addicted mother and no father. Watching Mahershala Ali play a father figure will tug at your heartstrings. The movie ended a little abruptly. The story about the 2nd mother is never fully developed and we are never told what happened to the father figure. But otherwise this movie is a treat to watch.
