"So, this is the part where I tell you I was an artist who'd fallen from grace, right? Then impart some wisdom to you that changes your outlook. Because you gave me a fucking sandwich? Like I'm some fucking magical negro just sitting here with shit in my pants, so I can help you make up your mind? Nope, I ain't that nigger. "
Goke's Notes:— This film for minute one is very, very funny — Radha Blank is an incredibly funny writer and actor. — This is a beautifully shot black-and-white New York movie — certainly up there with Manhattan, Frances Ha, and She's Gotta Have It.— Influenced by Spike Lee — especially with the interstitials — Loved Peter Kim as her childhood best friend/agent Archie — I could see a version of "The Forty-Year-Old Version" as a show — Forewarned the humor can be incredibly cringing like looking through webbed fingers cringy like Radha's first live performance (yo, yo, yo, yo). Also, the workshop scene is also incredibly cringy — The scenes with the students were great, genuine, and funny. You can tell those particular kids do love and respect her as a teacher — Despite the film's logline, this isn't about the character's evolution as an MC. The journey of the email isn't straight and narrow in that regard. The film is rather about the emotional journey of a black female artist.— Great film about age, honesty, evolving, and dealing with the past. — Despite winning the big award at Sundance, I feel this film is underrated and under-discussed. We all know many black female filmmakers don't get the respect and attention they deserve and I believe this film is one of them. If you're a big "celluloid, only celluloid, man!" nerd, you might want to check this film out. It was shot on good ol' fashioned 35mm— Somebody needs to update the quotes section of this film on IMDB.com. It's sad. This film has hundreds of funny jokes and scenes. — I hope Radha Blank with her next features becomes one of the first black women to be nominated for an Oscar for best director. This is an incredibly gorgeous film. Great compositions and great oners. Kudos to DP Eric Branco
