Ratings and reviews

This is us put together in a movie to remind me of the damage I've caused to the only man i have ever loved as truly, madly and deeply as i do all because of my insecurities and self-doubt. I guess now....its my turn to suffer. I miss him so much the pain has become unbearable.... I love you Daddy more than you'll ever know. You will forever be my always.

The music is excellent. The imagery is enticing. The characters are well played. However, this movie fails to launch. Instead of something instructive, the viewer must painfully labor through the most tentative and self-hating protagonist who refuses to commit to anything for more than a few minutes, or a 24-hour period if the visiting character persists. The “slam poetry” is pedantic and doesn’t jive with the narrative and the final effort at self-love, is underwhelming and not believable.
