That feeling when you're just trying to achieve world domination but your AP Calc problem set is due in the morning. #JoinTheSpades now on @PrimeVideo.
Like everyone else, we were stuck inside a lot this year, and with streaming further blurring the lines between theatrical movies and television features, I’ve expanded the list to include visual storytelling that I’ve enjoyed this year, regardless of format.
And if you’ve watched SELAH, you know just how incredible the aesthetic is thanks to cinematographer Jomo Fray. As @BarryJenkins tweeted, “he clearly got next.”
.@tayarisha Poe is the writer and director of SELAH AND THE SPADES. This film is one of the most assured debuts we’ve ever seen, and we can’t wait to see her series adaptation.
I watched Selah and the Spades and I loved it!!! The characters were quite complex, especially the lead, and the acting was really amazing. I loved the cinematography of a lot of the scenes and the stylistic choices the director, Tayarisha Poe, made ♠️
Really great coming of age Black girl films that are available for streaming pleasure right now: Selah and the Spades, Fig Tree, Jinn, and Atlantics. ✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽
What @tayarisha did with #SelahAndTheSpades is something that we'll be talking about for years, and years to come. Something that will be studied with a lasting effect in film schools, in film clubs, & beyond.
