Think of it as a classier boutique release, deserving of a higher shelf placement. The film them splits into three timelines, each delicately balanced by Cole, as we see Jahkor as a child played with heartbreaking conviction by Jalyn Hall abused by his addict father JD Jeffrey Wright , Jahkor getting involved in criminal actvities in the months before the killing and Jahkor in prison. Discarding the flat TV palette so many other Netflix-funded film-makers seem happy to stick with, writer-director Cole clearly has something a lot grander in his sights and he squeezes every last drop from his limited budget, working as if the intention was for a far bigger screen. Via an often insightful and often hackneyed voiceover, Jahkor talks about the prison he was born into, how as a young black man living in a working-class neighbourhood he has always been surrounded by four walls, they just became more noticeable when he was sent away. His toxic father is both aggressor and victim himself, an addict with mental health issues without the help he so sorely needs. This article is more than 3 years old.
