Denzel's directing is usually on point and engrossing but something was missing in this movie. I have never seen Chante Adams in anything before and her performance in this one does not move me to seek her out in anything else. Just has no screen presence. And no chemistry with Michael B. Jordan. For me, her performance ruined a great story.
Well written script but Chante is overacting in the beginning and lost in the rest of the movie. I have seen Jordan in many other movies and he becomes the character in all of those performances but even he is missing something here. I want to say it's Adams' performance and not the directing or the rest of the cast that is at fault here.
Great set decoration, art direction and a wonderful script but that is about it. The movie trailer and explanation of the film is misleading. This is a love story between a man and a woman and not all for the son which is what you are lead to believe. But even if they named is correctly and described it as such, it still wouldn't save the film, Shame!
