I love Madea but it was so refreshing to have something totally removed from Perry's normal work. He started writing this in the 90s and the quality of the film shows how he took his time writing every detail.
Trigger warning! There is a rape scene involving an older man and young teen girl. Shows drug use. It's raw and unsettling but works for the story line. Beautiful cinematography. Excellent acting. Loved that there were no big names attached to the project.
If you've seen any of Perry's plays, you know he loves to incorporate music so it has lots of good music but without being a musical.
