Bronx Gothic

From director Andrew Rossi (Page One: Inside the New York Times, The First Monday in May) comes an electrifying portrait of writer and performer Okwui Okpokwasili and her acclaimed one-woman show, Bronx Gothic. Rooted in memories of her childhood, Okwui - who's worked with conceptual artists like Ralph Lemon and Julie Taymor - fuses dance, song, drama and comedy to create a mesmerizing space in which audiences can engage with a story about two 12-year-old black girls coming of age in the 1980s. With intimate vérité access to Okwui and her audiences off the stage, Bronx Gothic allows for unparalleled insight into her creative process as well as the complex social issues embodied in it.

The acting was superb - all the characters done well. Okwui Okpokwasili was amazing.

Okwui Okpokwasili and Peter Born give great performances. The plot is sometimes heartbreaking, but mostly interesting and it's easy to get into and get into the characters on their journey through this movie.

Great movie. I think I'm going to watch again right now.

This film gave me everything I love in movie, a powerful story and more than enough edge-of-your-seat action sequences.

I hope that this film stands the test of time because it is "classic" material.

I watched this movie without knowing anything about it and wasn't expecting too much. Well I got a pleasant surprise. This movie is excellent!

A masterpiece of Documentary and possibly one of the greatest sequels ever made!

Ralph Lemon as always, outstanding! Without doubt one of his best performances!

Breath-taking, action packed and WOW!! We saw it twice, and would see it a dozen more times.
