Review of Four

Four (I) (2012)
4/10
BOSTON IS SUCH A WHITE CITY
16 July 2018
Warning: Spoilers
The story takes place on the fourth of July and centers on the lives of four people. Four is also the number used to establish a foundation. We see people who are trapped by their lives on a day they celebrate freedom. Joe (Wendell Pierce) a chicken hawk, meets June (Emory Cohen) on line. June is a quiet confused young man who feels trapped by his homosexuality. Joe is a family man who can not come out either. His wife has a "disease" which we guess is HIV she got from Joe. Abigayle (sic) is Joe's daughter who cares for her mother while dad claims he is Boston. Young Dexter is mixed White and Hispanic. He convinces Abigayle to come out and see him. He played basketball as a youth and it appears his best days are behind him.

Even understanding the symbolism/metaphor the film sets up, I still didn't enjoy it. An art/ concept film based on a play.
