892 2022
892 features powerful performances from its ensemble, especially John Boyega and Nicole Beharie.

Character drives the story as we’re figuring out what to make of these self-absorbed people and aren’t instructed not to like them. We’re instead challenged to discover their redeemable qualities, and in this exercise I absolutely saw myself in them by the end. A self-effacing experience for me.
