This movie is amazingly wonderful. It's one for my collection for sure. Such power and emotion while being completely relatable.

Per usual opinions are like assholes, blah blah blah...My opinion however, and without bias, as I'm a huge Spacey fan, I rated this between a 4 and a 5. So I gave it a 5. The emotion, trials and tribs and the ending all fall in a class that I feel was extremely under rated with critics and allot of peeps. I just have to say that this movie moved me entirely and I found a new star to adore. Keke, you go girl. This young woman is destined for greatness. I see an Oscar in her future for sure. Obviously, I loved this flick.
