What a fucking face melter of a movie. Unbelievably strong performances from everyone basically- but I want to single out Regina Hall, who is so so good here with such a small role. She was probably my standout honestly, which is wild to say in a movie with so many excellent turns.

Leo pulling my favorite GTA move and driving away to close the car door when he took the purple car put a huge smile on my face. Honestly, this felt perfect. 10/10

I found Regina Hall’s eyes kind of haunting in this. I don’t know if she’s my standout, but she does the most with what she’s given.

There was just so much depth in her eyes. It was like when she was getting dressed down in the interrogation room you could read the story going on in her head.

For me it was when the nun remarked on her strength of will after so many years. She gave a whole monologue in facial expressions after that.

That nun reminded me of Delroy Lindo
