This is a film that takes a slim setup, all of it predicated on difference, and runs with it, renders it into something as intellectually persuasive as it is dramatically refined.

Reveals, with fiercely focussed observation, the combined breakdown of public institutions and private life.

This is an important film. It's perhaps even more than timely -- it's urgent.

Examines not just the broken medical system in Texas, but also toxic masculinity, the murky waters of consent, and the power dynamics in interracial couples - especially between Black women and white men.
