The biggest message is about space, space to be, to love, to eat, to dance, to make music, to live. It debts delves into the racism, violence and oppression visited on Black bodies and Black lives by white supremacist thinking, media and policing.
So for that brilliance and I love it. Also for building such real characters.
Until the end the looping images weren't landing with me, so they seemed pleased with their own cleverness; a cleverness that just wasn't evident to me until the end. So I maybe love it more in hindsight than I did while I was reading it.

It was repetitive, often the same sentences repeated, which is why this was a 4.5 and not a 5 star for me.
Moderate: Death and Racism
