The problem is that critical thinking is haaarrrddd . <| sep |> I know some places are definitely having sales this week , what ' s your budget . I got my note 4 from Swappa . com I ' d recommend checking it out they seem to be budget friendly usually . <| sep |> For me this movie was really painful to watch . I ' m really glad I saw this alone . A lot of dread and empathy . I was supper happy when Kevin was making the food at the end but this quickly evaporated . I ' m going to see it again though because it was fantastic and it probably won ' t be so painful a second time and I want to look at again so that I think more about the movie and learn more about the movie . As far as fitting within movements new black cinema . queer cinema , I didn ' t really get that . I ' ve only seen it once so far but those categories would come to mind more if there was more obvious directorial decisions . It seemed to me to be more about characters and story , that ' s how theme was displayed rather than explicitly and unmistakably directorial decisions . Like those french movies new wave , when I watch those I mainly think about the director and their decisions rather than the characters . Or if there was more contrast between black charactersqueer characters and everyone else . It seemed to me to movie about a black person and a movie about a queer person but not a movie about blackness or queerness . On second thought there was contrast between the queer folks and the nonqueer folks and it does kind of seem like a movie about queerness and specifically queerness for black folk so I don ' t really know . Mahershala Ali reminds me of Freddie Gibbs .
