Zanthype from The Tardis Since: May, 2016 Relationship Status: Hoping Senpai notices me
#1: Sep 25th 2018 at 3:24:22 PM

Based on the 2017 book by Angie Thomas, starring Amandla Stenberg as Starr.

Here's the summery from the Wikipedia page: Starr Carter is constantly switching between two worlds: the poor, mostly black, neighborhood where she lives and the rich, mostly white, prep school she attends. The uneasy balance between these worlds is shattered when Starr witnesses the fatal shooting of her childhood best friend Khalil at the hands of a white police officer. Now, facing pressures from all sides of the community, Starr must find her voice and stand up for what's right.

This looks so good. It's out on October 5th and currently has a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Gonna bump this since it's coming out. Anyone seen it yet? Thoughts?

I can't find a theater anywhere near me that's actually playing this (I'm gonna have to drive a good hour and forty five minutes). And no one seems to be talking about it. It's bizarre that a movie about something so topical and political looks to be flying completely under the radar.

Has this movie had its "wide" release yet? Thought I heard it only opened in select theaters for the moment.

Debating whether I want to see this before reading the book or not (I haven't read it yet because I am just... very late to the party with books).

I finally got to see this. It came to my local theater for about a week and despite actually working there I never got a chance to see it, then I had to wait for it to come to the local redbox. Holy hell, this movie was elusive. It was also very, very good. I'd put it on my favorite movies of 2018 list. I'm honestly surprised it hasn't gotten any talk for some big awards.

Incredible movie.

I'm touched at how much Harry Potter played a role in it too.
