At the beginning of the movie the cast are trying out for various parts in the play. The group is criticized for not doing comedy yet their previous play was A Midsummer Night's Dream which is a comedy..
Cast was extraordinary
Featured in Late Night with Seth Meyers: Anna Faris/Colman Domingo/Jose Medeles (2024). Bladescomposed by Bryce Dessner. Best movie I have seen in some time.
Colman Domingo is incredible
The filmography is very unique and really sets the tone. The plot was well crafted and paced. I was very moved by this movie.
Definitely worth watching on the big screen
Movie is based on a true story about the theater program Reformed Through Art at Sing Sing. Many characters are played by former members of the program. The emotional range of the characters in this movie is extremely compelling.
Just profoundly lovely
I was moved to tears several times throughout this movie. This movie is touching and heartwarming-it explores hope and grief and redemption.
