An Amazon original, a sort of Harlem-set La La Land, or a fifties melodrama refreshingly made without a modern filter nor racial prejudice. (Maybe the latter is the modern filter.)
Tessa Thompson (who's also a producer), Nnamdi Asomugha, Eva Longoria, Aja Naomi King, Jemima Kirke, Tone Bell, Lance Reddick (the father).
Good score by Farbrice Lecomte and cinematography from Declan Quinn (on Super 16 film), edited by Dana Congdon, production design Mayne Berke. Lovely fifties jazz. Ashe had made just one film before. He quite often sensibly leaves characters in two shot.
