The movie is an absolute diamond and a very succesfull depection of reality and the harsh world we live in ....it shows how lucky we are if somebody comes into our life to show us how to stand on our own two feet and love ourselves first and foremost I absolutely recomment it.

Best movie I seen in a minute. Excellent cinematography and directing. Caught it on a whim after a friend suggested and glad i listened. Touches on many subjects.

Characters ring false. My body was literally cringing listening to the dialogue. Beware of someone who both writes and directs and stars in their own movie. This proves why you shouldn't do this.

This film hits on visual, relational, and cultural levels. Each character felt real, while also representing how disjointed identities and values might attract and repel each other within our current counter/cultural landscape. Themes of expression, success, anti-Blackness. Femininity, spirituality, and playfulness/responsibility coalesce in this film that insists on setting its own course. The film feels equal parts sweet and tense, whimsical and serious, all while remaining realistic, fresh, and genuine. I wish I could watch it for the first time over and over! P. S. We live for trace lysette. Yes hunny.

This movie is not for everyone. You have to be in the mood, you have to be in the vibe to get it. You have to be at least a bit an artist, a weird one. At least a little bit. To me, basically this movie is sort of "The Doors" (1991) meet "Downtown '81". A bit Basquiat-ish. There is a lot of both there. Except we see a black Jim Morrison and there is a happy end, so it ends well. But everything is there, plus a pinch of the "Hotline Miami" (2012) videogame soundtrack vibe. Now as I think of, maybe there is a pinch of "Wild Style" (1982) as well. This self-discovery journey... Okay. This movie is weird and very artistic. This movie gets you high without the need to do anything. Just sit and watch. It is a sort of a spiritual journey all along to re-discover your truth and your true self. Most defining quote is probably "how do you sell truth" with the answer being "by being true yourself". In this world of wannabees and fakers, go on a journey and find your own world with your own truth where you will meet your true self. The one that you hold back, the one to bring out and the one to help you go forward. This is what movie is all about. Great camera work, scenes, music, actor work, nothing bad about this movie. I rented it from Google Play, but after my rent period expire I actually plan to buy it. This is one I want to see again.

I'm not going to explain anything about this film. If you live it, if you hate it, I think that says a lot about who you are. I'm not saying that it defines you negatively or positively, but it puts you into one of two camps. I know exactly which one I fall into. Loved every second of this film.

A unique story about a unique individual (Hunter) trying to forge his path into the Los Angeles art scene. The picture itself is art in how it appears visually on the screen and the chemistry between the actors. This move struck home in many different ways and I wish there were more films like this to watch.

This was a beautiful film. Every frame is like a poem to Los Angeles and the talented, struggling bohemians that make it a wild and magical place. The acting is pitch perfect and the characters are creatures you fall in love with.
