Review
"An absorbing, smartly made dramatic encyclopedia of problems and ethics in the black community, 1991."--Variety"...a sadly optimistic and touching classic that confidently conveys a coherent solemn mood of a modern American wasteland."--Film Threat"Shows some genuine talent in handling character and action, and equal amounts of confusion and attitude when it comes to matters of gender and ghetto politics."--Chicago Reader"...a film of enormous relevance and importance."--Roger Ebert"***1/2 Highly recommended."--Video Librarian
