CGiii Comment
Does a shoestring budget necessarily mean terrible acting and banal writing?
Well, it certainly does here.
At nearly 2 hours long, Finding Me gets lost in a number of irrelevant scenes and petty dialogue.
Considering that this a recent example of gay African-American cinema, it is a huge disappointment.
It's facile and flimsy - on the strength of this, Omeus should not make another film.
Black cinema deserves much better.
