Just finished watching it. I laughed and I cringed at the same time because it was furiously intelligent. The exchange between Sintara and Monk during the award meeting made me think of the challenges in the publishing world (both online and in print) as a writer. The Bukowski point was spot on! Loved Sterling K. Brown! And of course, Wright!

Great. Glad you enjoyed it. And, obviously, profited from it. It gives us a lot to think about in terms of media, racial misunderstanding and family. Who helps us to see ourselves as we really are? This movie asks that question of just about all the characters. I think that's why it's so rich. Everybody gets to state their case, say how they want to be seen.
