A.V. Rockwell's directorial debut includes an astounding breakthrough performance from Teyana Taylor, in what is destined to become one of the great New York stories. Our full beastobsessed review by colemanjspilde:
’s dauntless Inez vocalizes her doubt for the first time. “I keep feeling like something’s going to happen,” she says. It seems impossible that she hadn’t thought this before, given that she’s spent her life uncertain of what might come next. Inez grew up in foster care and was fending for herself in Harlem by the time she was a teenager; volatility is second nature. But the world has begun to spin too fast for her to keep up with, and the inertia of everything she holds dear is on the line.
Terry takes a moment to warm up to his mother, but Inez works to prove herself to him. She makes concerted efforts to stay in touch with her son and show him that she’s on the up and up. After Terry lands himself in the hospital trying to evade his foster family, Inez has to make the most difficult choice of her life. She can take Terry away from the system and risk being caught for a kidnapping felony, losing access to him forever.
Inez’s unstable youth skewed her self-perception, and taking care of Terry allows her to avoid staring in the mirror. But life catches up with her, as it does with all of us. Keeping Terry by her side forces her to contend with the fact that she may never get what life owes her. Instead, she has to stop running and build something for herself, or all of her affection for Terry will be for naught.
