You think it looks bad?

It's not. At all. It's very good. http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/beyond_the_lights/

You can't find a date?

This movie is so good, I'd see it alone.

You've been working too much? Don't have two hours to kill at a theater?

I don't believe you. Go see this movie.

In a just world, Gugu Mbatha-Raw gets an Oscar nomination for this film, bare minimum. And I'm dead fucking serious. This is a smart, surprisingly complex film with terrific characters, some sharp commentary on the entertainment industry, and real chemistry between its leads.

Go see this movie. We need more movies that are this good. We need Gina Prince-Bythewood to make a movie more frequently than every six years.

Please. There. I asked nicely.
