A fine surprise. I went in blank, not knowing what this film was about, but from what I'd picked up about it, I figured this might be something I could like. I was a bit bummed after the first 15 minutes, but then director Matsoukas proves that films like this can be about more than messages and points being driven home. The two central performances are great, but it's really Matsoukas' direction that elevates this film well above its peers. There's a somewhat quiet, laid-back, stylish vibe that runs underneath the entire production. The cinematography is polished, the soundtrack notable, the pacing on point. Strong across the board.
