But to make this movie that was such an opportunity in so many ways... and then make him so blatantly a LVM... it definitely left the viewer wondering what does she see in him?Yeah I guess on some level they 'got' each other, but meh.I'm not black and I was watching it and I was like she deserves better. Whether a black man or not.I did appreciate the movie though, in general, as obviously its an important conversation in our current times. /the execution could have been MUCH better.
