Sinekatalog’s take
Ava DuVernay's quiet drama follows a woman who leaves medical school to support her husband in prison, and finds her own path. Emayatzy Corinealdi is excellent in a tender, intimate portrait that won DuVernay Sundance's directing prize.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
