The Hate U Give

I actually enjoyed this movie during these trying times with race issue's and police shootings. The acting wasn't Oscar worthy but it had a good message that we need to get drilled into our heads that All Lives Matter, including Black Lives who seem to be targeted by police brutality. It was a free watch so I would definitely recommend, even if for a small fee.

I give this movie a 4 out of 5 because it is a pretty good adpatation of the book. What rings true is the story of the anti-black racism that the community lives with and the sometimes inevitable outcome for all. THUG - or the hate we give impacts everyone. The movie is a good reminder of the spiral of events/experiences that can make us lead with love or with hate. Worth watching, but please read the book too.

Inspiring, raw, powerful, emotional and never dull. Did find the movie a little bit long, and trying to pack to many things at times. Definitely worth watching, especially in our times.
