I think the younger generations will cherish and learn from this film and that makes me happy."
Agree that it takes a solid 10 minutes to sink into this; the opening is hectic as-is, but the quick cutting is a bit bewildering to watch. The men come off far stronger than the women, I think. I'm not sure if Krystal Joy Brown's performance landed better in the theater, but on screen, it feels out of balance with her costars, who are giving more naturalistic performances. It also sometimes felt strange that some of it was filmed with an audience and some wasn't - I almost missed the laughter or applause or at least the consistency of their presence. The ensemble is terrific and I love that each got a moment to shine directly into the camera.
