To Sleep With Anger is a great film. You were right about it having a very spiritual feel to it. It felt like I was watching a dream. I like how it depicted the often harmful favoritism Black families give to their children. How things like this can often lead to self fulfilling prophecies. I loved how Danny Glover’s character served as the mischievous catalyst character during the whole film. He really was instigating tf out that family 😂

I just watched Drylongso after reading this, and holy moly, it's good! The art at the centre of it is just fantastic, and the film (the actors, director, etc.) did such a delicate but precise job in the approach to the subject matter. I tried to Google the actress, Toby Smith, who plays Pica, but all I can find is random white men 🥲 Do you know if she's in anything more recent?

Going to watch now thank you soooo much, Jazkia for such a fun roadmap for this spontaneous adventure. I believe my love for music reflects your love for movies. Take care.
