25th Anniversary!

In this funny and fearlessly honest character study, John Singleton illuminates the pressures that Black men face as they make their way through early adulthood. Jody (Gibson, in his feature-film debut) is a young native of South Central struggling to find direction in his life. Confronting complicated questions about sex, violence, and parent-child dynamics, the final installment in Singleton’s Hood Trilogy showcases the deep humanism of a celebrated filmmaker working at the height of his powers. – Criterion Collection Brattle debut!
