The reason I felt inclined to leave a review is because this movie was beautifully shot. I don't know much about the time and effort it takes to man such a cinematic masterpiece, however the different angles, music, focused lenses, filters and transitions took TIME! This movie was beautiful, and I think unless you grew up watching black films it would seem very distant. Yet, the colors and vibrancy and textures throughout each scene spoke to the intensity of the character Goldie. An 18 year old who lost everything, even at the end for her to look in the camera it was like she was speaking to the audience. This movie wasn't just shot in the third person but in first person as well. It's soo many layers to this movie and unless you seek to learn something or seek to understand there won't be a transversal connection to the film. It's definitely not a film that is rushed so sit back and let the whimsical soul grasping movie unwind itself.
Plot summary
Goldie, a precocious teenager in a family shelter, wages war against the system to keep her sisters together while she pursues her dreams of being a dancer. This is a story about displaced youth, ambition, and maintaining your spirit in the face of insurmountable obstacles.

Reminded me of Spike Lee Film
Floppity flop
Uh... so the visual effects are really annoying and pointless. Not to mention apparently this girl "Goldie" can NOT dance which I thought this is what the movie is about. So there is that.
Seriously??
What a waste of time.Full of brightly colored cliches and a story that literally goes nowhere.The writers missed several opportunities to actually tell the audience a story,instead of stringing together a bunch of slice of life vignettes like beads on a cheap necklace.I get the feeling that the filmmakers wanted to reinforce a stereotype more than anything else,and the annoying animations every few minutes are a distraction from what little storytelling there is.Miss this one.I wish I had.
