Medicine for Melancholy (2008)
Ideal for anyone who has hooked up at a party, then had a chance to get to know the other person the following day, Moonlight director Barry Jenkins' romantic drama is a circa-2007 look at life in a rapidly developing San Francisco. Jenkins cast Wyatt Cenac right before he became a noteworthy writer on "The Daily Show" who famously got into a spat with Jon Stewart over his on-air impression of Herman Cain. Cenac's character, Micah, possesses a similar fire, one that is kept in check by his recent bedmate 'Jo (Tracey Heggins), who is way more radical and self-assured than most female characters we ever get to see — picture Joie Lee's Jade from Do the Right Thing written as a lead role. — Arno
