I enjoyed watching it! I think not only America but we all needed this movie. I guess some of us are a little tired of sad, repetitive and martyr cinema that we feel like obliged to like, to equal the contribution of Afro American community to the culture. I enjoyed watching this new perspective to look at Afro American cinematographic approach, to how it should be pictured in cinema and written in books. Unexpectadly good and surprising. Not boring, funny and touching many topics common to every race and class. Good music and good actors. Well deserved Oscars nomination breaking with last years trends.
