American Son (2019)
6/10
Rough start but paid off
4 November 2019
I struggled through the first 25 minutes or so watching Kerry Washington's character argue with the white cop for so long. I felt like this part didn't need to go on for so long. Once the husband showed up, the storyline began to form a little more and I became more invested in it, the whole time anticipating what happened to the son, Jamal It definately left me thinking about race and humanity in general afterwards. I did not know until after I watched the movie that this was originally a Broadway play that was adapted to the big screen and it definately felt like watching a play with the solo set and dialogue-filled scenes. I think it is worth the watch though. Gives you different perspectives and a lot to think about.
