Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Snow on Tha Bluff (2012)

A sorta, I think, documentary slice-of-life in the hood.  Or it could be complete fiction, I don't really know.

We follow Curtis Snow, who makes his living by robbing both teens rolling in to buy drugs and dealer stash houses. The repeating patterns of these wasted lives is overpowering, as is the squalor they create for themselves without seeming to realize how easy it would be to change their circumstance (or at least take a broom to it). The slang/lazy verbalizations were so garbled it may has well have been a foreign language film.

I’ve never felt whiter than I did after watching this.
