Our take
Billy Woodberry deserves to be more widely known for his achingly compassionate directorial debut about a Black family struggling for money in 1980s Los Angeles. Kaycee Moore brings a breathtaking gravitas to the role of a world-weary wife and mother, written especially for her by Charles Burnett.
