| Summary |
In this exhilarating, poignant debut feature Danny (played by co-director Kelley Kali in a star making performance alongside Deon Cole (“Blackish”, “Barbershop: The Next Cut"), a recently widowed woman, barely makes ends meet by braiding hair and making deliveries on roller skates. Having convinced her 8 year old daughter they are 'camping out’ in a tent for fun (in a nod to “Life is Beautiful”), she manages to save enough money for a downpayment on a new apartment. When a client is unable to pay her, she realizes that if she can’t raise {dollar}200 by day’s end she will lose the apartment and have to admit to her daughter that they are actually “ houseless." What follows is an intense, manic and frayed day until the final reckoning. In a world where we need more underrepresented voices telling their own stories, this movie hits the mark. Equal turns funny and heart wrenching, this is a soaring, urgent achievement that announces the co-directors, co-writers, and leading cast as major forces in a work that will have audiences cheering. |
