Blackbird (2014) 1r5j14

Blackbird: Directed by Patrik-Ian Polk. With Mo’Nique, Julian J. Walker, Kevin Allesee, Isaiah Washington. A young singer struggles with his sexuality and the treatment of others while coming of age in a small Southern Baptist community.

“The struggle the main character has with his sexuality is so real. I felt it, his pain, his confusion, his agony. Sure, some of the acting couldu0026#39;ve been better in parts but overall I think this ensemble pulled it off. Far better than itu0026#39;s rating. Give this Indy film a chance.”
