This has to be one of the slowest movies that I’ve ever seen. For the majority of the film I had to fast forward it just to get to the next scene.

This movie was a reflection of real life including the pace. About the love of community and its deep meaning to lifelong residents being displaced by gentrification and losing their identity.
