I do not, in any way believe that a film must have a "plot" to be successful and more often than not I find myself in a position of defending fine films that are accused of being "plotless" by those with a limited view of what movies should be. As a real Liberal who actually believes in Freedom of expression I also do not care about being politically correct. I am saying this because I sincerely believe that almost no one would be praising this film if it had not been made by a Black Woman. It is inept in every way except photographically (and even that becomes tiresome since is it is basically variations of the same shot for 1 hr and 52 minutes) There is nothing moving, original or worthwhile about this film. It begins nowhere and ends nowhere. In fact, there is NO there there. No characters, no drama, nothing intellectually or artistically stimulating about it... not even a lowly plot to hang it's emptiness on. Watch it if you must find out for yourself. Sorry Ms. Dash, your film may have been a labor of love, but in the end, it simply sucks.
