Our take
In ‘90s Harlem, a mother’s intense desire to protect her child is pushed to extremes in A.V. Rockwell’s blistering family drama. With an intensely committed performance by the revelatory Teyana Taylor, this Sundance Grand Jury prizewinner explores the fierce bonds of motherhood against the odds.
