評分和評論

This movie went into the belly of the beast of poetry & spoken word. It depicts how life gives you all the material you need as a writer/poet. Loved it! Saul & Sonjia tear it up on screen! Very awe inspiring.

This is a wonderfully done movie. Will never forget. Very powerful

This is honestly one of my favorite movies, I just wish I could purchase it permanently
