A good movie

Since I always had a weak spot for Spike Lee's work, of course, I was really eager to check his directing debut. Eventually, what I liked the most was the fact it was so much lighter than his usual work which was just so refreshing. Then, even though it was sometimes slightly pretentious, which was rather expected from a directing debut, I really liked the directing with some neat black-and-white photography. Still, even though Tracy Camilla Johns was quite gorgeous and seriously charismatic, it was still difficult to root for this character who had some massive commitment issues. Indeed, it is interesting to point that, so far in his career, Spike Lee has made only 2 movies with a female main character, this one dealing with a woman who sleeps pretty much with everybody and 'Girl 6' who was dealing with a woman becoming a phone-sex operator. Furthermore, from her 3 lovers, even though they were all completely different, there were 2 of them (Greer Childs and Mars Blackmon) that she could have dropped without any hesitation and there was no real valid reason for her to keep seeing them. Still, even if the material didn't completely work, it was pretty neat how Spike Lee managed to deliver some complex and flawed characters. Anyway, to conclude, even though it was definitely not a masterpiece, it was still a decent watch and it is definitely worth, especially if you are interested in Spike Lee's work.
