A culturally specific story is being told, but the film’s familiar structure helps to add a commonality for any viewer.

This coming-of-age dramedy explores how the challenges of being young, black and misunderstood can be compounded in a foreign environment, but goes about it in a grounded, character-driven way that never smacks of manipulation or special pleading.
