Till (2022, dir. Chinonye Chukwu) - review by Rookie-Critic

Till was the rare biopic that manages to rise above the genre trappings and give its audience something a little more than just a rehashing of historical events. By putting Mamie Till-Mobley at the film's center and focusing on the grief of a mother who needlessly lost her son to racist brutality, Chukwu has allowed the film to breathe, and has allowed the audience to come in and be outraged and distraught with her. The film never feels emotionally manipulative, which would have been very easy to do here. Instead, the film starkly shows the nature of what happened that day, and how Till-Mobley handled the aftermath, the history speaks for itself here, and Danielle Deadwyler is merely performing as a conduit for her grief, her anger, and her determination. Other civil rights figures of the time, such as Medgar Evers and T. R. M. Howard make appearances, and instead of pulling major focus towards these very famous figures, the film instead allows them to take a backseat. This is not their story, it's Till-Mobley's, and Chukwu respects the real life people this movie is based on enough to allow them to take center stage and never falters from that. There's really not a lot else to say, it's just an incredibly well-made historical drama with an oft overlooked, wildly sympathetic and empowering woman at its core. Till is well worth the watch.

Score: 9/10

Currently available to rent or purchase on digital (iTunes, Amazon, Vudu, etc.) and to pre-order on DVD & Blu-ray through Orion/Universal Studios/Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.

That Chile Emmett in That Casket

Sometimes the page was tacked, flush against plaster with a pearl hatpin, or jammed into a dime-store frame with a glowing Jesus. In some kingly

Front rooms, its place was in the shadowbox, propped on one ripped edge, or laid curly-cornered on the coffee table, smudged and eaten sheer

With the pass-around. In the kitchen, it was blurred by stew smoke or pot liquor-blotched until somebody got smart enough to scotch-tape

It to door of the humming fridge, and the boy without eyes kept staring. Mamas did the slow fold before wedging it into their flowered plastic

coin purses, daddies found a sacred place in pleather wallets right next to the thought of cash. And at least once every week, usually on Sunday

after church or when you dared think you didn't have to speak proper to that old white lady who answered the phone at your daddy's job,

or when, as Mama said, you showed your ass by sassin' or backtalking, the page would be pulled down, pulled out, unfolded, smoothed flat,

and you had to look. Look, boy. And they made sure you kept looking while your daddy shook his head, mumbling 'this is why you got to act

Right 'round white folk,' then dropped his smoke-threaded gaze to whisper, 'Lord, they kilt that chile more than one time.' Mama held on to your eyes -

See what happens when you don't be careful?

She meant white men could turn you into a stupid reason for a suit, that your last face would be silt,

Stunned in its skid and worshipped, your right eye reborn in the cave of your mouth. 'Look!' she screeched. You did. But then you remembered

there weren't any pictures of you in the house, pinned high on the wall, folded up tight against the Lord, toted like talisman in wallet or purse.

You'd searched, woe climbing like river in your chest. But there were no pictures of you anywhere. You sparked no moral. You were alive.

-Patricia Smith

If somehow you do not yet know who Avalon Fast is, I urge you to run to the nearest film festival you have or dig holes into the universe to find her work. When it lands its wide release, Honeycomb is bound for cult classic status, from indie feel to story core.

April 12, 2024: A Small Psalm, Catherine Wing

A Small Psalm Catherine Wing

Sorrow be gone, be a goner, be forsooth un-sooth, make like a suit and beat it, vamoose from the heavy heavy, be out from under the night's crawlspace, call not for another stone, more weight more weight, be extinguished, extinguish, the dark, that which is deep and hollow, that which presses from all sides, that which squeezes your heart into an artichoke-heart jar and forbids it breathe, that which is measured by an unbalanced scale, banish the broken, the unfixable, the shattered, the cried-over, the cursed, the cursers, the curses— curse them, the stone from the stone fruit, let it be fruit, the pit from the pitted, the pock from the pocked, the rot from the rotten, tarry not at the door, jam not the door's jamb, don't look back, throw nothing over your shoulder, not a word, not a word's edge, vowel, consonant, but run out, run out like the end of a cold wind, end of season, and in me be replaced with a breath of light, a jack-o'-lantern, a flood lamp or fuse box, a simple match or I would even take a turn signal, traffic light, if it would beat beat and flash flood like the moon at high tide, let it, let it, let it flare like the firefly, let it spark and flash, kindle and smoke, let it twilight and sunlight, and sunlight and moonlight, and when it is done with its lighting let it fly, will'-o-the-wisp, to heaven.
