I mean, first of all, A O Scott liked it.
“It is an exciting debut, and a film that, without exaggeration or false modesty, finds interest and feeling in the world just as it is.”
And we all like A O Scott and his paper, the New York Times, right? So there you go.
Second of all, it’s at the Northwest Film Forum, so you know it’ll be a nice experience, and you’ll be supporting a Capitol Hill institution.
And third, since it’s there and they’re super cool, if you go tomorrow you can also enjoy a Q&A with the director, Barry Jenkins.
Here’s a trailer:
Excellent date night suggestion!
