Here’s my two cents-
You can truly tell people who do not know business or understand budgets.
Some of the criticisms around #Coming2America have been extreme overreach.
Firstly, I’m tired of seeing the comparisons to Black Panther.

Black Panther was a Marvel super hero sci-fi film with a $200 million budget.
Coming to America is a black comedy fantasy on Amazon w/ a $60 million budget.
🤦🏾♀️ I guess I can see the correlation w/ 2 fictional countries in Africa & movies starring an all black cast.

But we are comparing pears to peaches.
I celebrate what Ryan Coogler was able to do with Black Panther but BP does not exist without Coming 2 America.
Getting a film studio to green light BP w/ the largest budget ever for a black director- took groundwork.

296. #SophieJones (2021) A raw and resonant coming of age story about dealing with grief and overcome pain,it feels very personal. The cinematography is gorgeous and visually stunning with excellent performances by the cast especially the lead who is great.Really good. ⭐⭐⭐1/2 
296. #Moxie (2021) A fun and entertaining coming of age movie that might be a bit flawed, but the performances by the cast is good and it is a bit long however it deals with a lot of important issues and it have a really powerful scene at the end, the direction is strong. ⭐⭐⭐
297. #TheHitchHiker (1953) A swift thrilling noir film that is visually pleasing with great direction, it is very tense,suspensful and fast paced (yeah it's only 70 min)anchored by a trio of great performances by the cast. The story might not fully fleshed but still fun. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
