This film drops us directly into the summer of 2020 with Black Lives Matters protests as a backdrop, and the pandemic as a catalyst for the narrative without it being the focus. It's a great use of context, and the setting will feel both familiar and unsettling for all of us who experienced those couple of years, which is all of us. For those who watch it in the future, it will be a lesson in the isolation and uncertainty of those times. For a low-budget film, the cast is amazingly talented. The fight scenes and camera work are top notch. The locations are well chosen, and the lighting is stunning. Couche is one to watch, and I'm not just saying that because he is one of my former students. ;-)
