can't help but like this movie

Normally this is the kind of movie I wouldn't watch or skip over after a few minutes but this has a compelling and different storyline that is wonderful to watch. It's not great film making. Most of the movie comes off like you would expect a low budget film but the movie (to me anyway) is about aspirations and things that get in your way and about stereotypes and prejudices that can keep you from getting ahead. I won't get into the details but for once white people are not the ones portraying the oppressors and it isn't about class struggle but just what real people have to deal with everyday. The actors are not great but for a change they have faces like your neighbors, not Hollywood caricatures. There's so many things about this movie to hate but I couldn't help but like it. I wish Hollywood (or canada) would make more movies like this.

score 8/10
