I retired from Black Trauma Porn style movies but that's a heck of a cast and I wish them all the success.

I'm ready to move on from our struggle being such a prominent theme of storytelling.
Right…there’s so many stories, and movie genres to still be making these black trauma/struggle movies. Especially with the talent that’s in this movie smh. They could’ve made a black love musical, or a fun coming of age story.

I love the cast but I doubt I’d see this other than if it came on TV while I was looking at the guide.

This was better than the first film and the Broadway play and that’s really a fantastic feat. They added songs and remixed a lot of the play and also added songs from the first movie. Just wow. I will be seeing this at least a few more times in the theaters. Fantasia just might get a Oscar.

Until ninjas put their own money up. This is what will continue to happen.
