Aaron's Thoughts
For the first 30 minutes, you are fighting the way that RaMell Ross is using the camera so unconventionally. To be honest, there were moments where I wasn’t even sure I would be able to finish the whole film.
Once the story gets really moving, you are more than locked in & on board with the swings being taken. By the end of the film, you leave surprised that this isn’t a more traditional way to tell a story.
A ride unlike any other, a story unlike anything I’ve ever seen, and all told by the only person who could tell it. I really hope Ross keeps making movies.
