Charles is stuck, and he knows it. He wants to stay inside his comfort zone, which is his pleasant Brooklyn apartment, and avoid contact with the world outside as much as possible. He steps outside, however, inadvertently leaving his keys inside, and what happens on his day in the sunlight is what this movie is about. A simple story, told without passion or bombast--but played with infinite commitment and joy by an ensemble led by actor Brian Tyree Henry, a brilliant and charismatic performer we shall (or at least should) see much more of in coming years. Slow to take off, the film soars by its ultimate conclusion. A little gem.

I felt the actors deserved a better movie
The storyline is rather dull, in fact very dull. The actors are all great and deserve a brilliant script to show off their talents, unfortunately this was not it.

I enjoyed the low stakes energy of the film. There aren't many films that are optimistic and life-affirming these days, especially in the indie sphere, and I appreciated that a bunch.
