If I Go Will They Miss Me

Children need heroes. And they’ll search for them under any circumstances. When Lil Ant’s father returns from prison, he returns to find a son who quietly wants to view him as a mythical god. When this clashes with his internal view of himself, Big Ant can’t cope with this perception of himself he knows is misguided. Really tender and at times beautiful storytelling of checkered people in the lower class. Shades of Moonlight in all the best ways. Great performance, cinematography, and grade.

sometimes it felt like they were trying to branch off in too many different directions, especially at just 90 minutes, but if they streamlined this down just a little it would’ve been pretty much flawless. it was really gorgeous to look at, and the story at its core was just as beautiful.

Shout out to the kids who are really into Greek mythology

Shout out to the kids who are really into Greek mythology

I just know they were pissed when Weapons came out.

Unfortunately the heavy handedness of its themes and motifs - excessive planes, Greek mythology, Pegasuses and horses, as well as the obvious visual references to Moonlight, Spike Lee, Khalil Joseph, and more iconic Black visual staples - drown out the heart of an otherwise compelling story of a man refusing to rise above his circumstances. I felt this film didn’t trust it’s audience. Clumsy throughout. Great performances though.
