Great writing, Timely, Edgy, Great acting, Profound

See it if You like themes challenging racism and racial stereotypes. You are prepared to be open minded and like to see complex family drama.

Don't see it if You are offended by colourful language and sexual references.

Slow, Intelligent, Funny, Entertaining, Absorbing

See it if you want to question what a ‘good’ or ‘right’ choice is, and you enjoy a tragi comedy sit com with a tightly drawn brilliantly acted lead

Don't see it if You don’t want an intense experience- I lost all respect for the lead in the second half!
