Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
Takes on a plethora of phobias. Homophobia, racial prejudice and age discrimination are among its targets, and it hits them squarely and fairly.

rotten:
An uneven but provocative drama.

fresh:
A very good drama about the difficulties of being young, black, and gay. With a bigger budget and a sharper focus, it might have been a great one.

fresh:
Works far better as an idea than its execution.

rotten:
Ambitious but clumsy, it's a movie to appreciate rather than to be engaged by.
