This movie is not for everyone. You have to be in the mood, you have to be in the vibe to get it. You have to be at least a bit an artist, a weird one. At least a little bit.
To me, basically this movie is sort of "The Doors" (1991) meet "Downtown '81". A bit Basquiat-ish. There is a lot of both there. Except we see a black Jim Morrison and there is a happy end, so it ends well. But everything is there, plus a pinch of the "Hotline Miami" (2012) videogame soundtrack vibe.
Now as I think of, maybe there is a pinch of "Wild Style" (1982) as well. This self-discovery journey... Okay.
This movie is weird and very artistic. This movie gets you high without the need to do anything. Just sit and watch. It is a sort of a spiritual journey all along to re-discover your truth and your true self. Most defining quote is probably "how do you sell truth" with the answer being "by being true yourself". In this world of wannabees and fakers, go on a journey and find your own world with your own truth where you will meet your true self. The one that you hold back, the one to bring out and the one to help you go forward.
This is what movie is all about.
Great camera work, scenes, music, actor work, nothing bad about this movie. I rented it from Google Play, but after my rent period expire I actually plan to buy it. This is one I want to see again.

The Doors meet Downtown '81
Stock.
I should have known by the positive reviews that this is a poor movie. The characters are stereotypical. Especially the lead. The premise gave it away. This kind of relationship is rooted against. And that is unfortunate. How dare the guy not smoke, hang out and use the b word.
In reality, Tribeca Productions is the distributor.
Also, if a movie has an f rating, that means that a woman is in front of and behind the camera and it's from a female point of view and director's chair. This movie is the opposite of that. Critics want you to believe that what's presented in this movie is the only reality in real life. No. Rege Jean Page is proof that there are other realities.
A JEWEL OF A FILM
The movie is an absolute diamond and a very succesfull depection of reality and the harsh world we live in ....it shows how lucky we are if somebody comes into our life to show us how to stand on our own two feet and love ourselves first and foremost I absolutely recomment it.
