Jeffrey Wright is great, no surprises there but I was taken aback by how good and impactful Tracee Ellis Ross is here. Havenβt had the wind taken out of me by a movie so quickly in a long time!
Also I thought, as a first time director, Cord Jefferson does an admirable job balancing two seemingly separate films, the satire and the rom-com. Both are intriguing, and while the third act falters a little, I enjoyed the βending.β
