Short Review: I loved the book and loved the film. No relationship is smooth sailing, each coming with it's highs and lows. That is proven in this thought provoking movie about black gay romance. Jussie did a great job and it's great to know the talented novelist contributed to the screenplay. The book is worth reading. The movie is worth watching.
