This movie made me laugh and cry. It showed the love that a girl had for her father runs deep. I loved it

nice movie nice acting

Great film! While the setting is a particular subculture the film does an incredible job of making the characters relatable and human. This is a gripping human drama and compelling portrait of the complicated relationship between children and their parents. Elvire Emmanuel and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II each give incredible performances in this father - daughter drama. Good film making.

Can't believe this is the first feature for the director. Brilliant story and dialog.

Brilliant script! Mesmorzing acting!

This movie was riveting, moving, exciting, tender, all at once. Amazing performances.

Powerful, insightful, authentic.

First Match is sooo GOOD!!! It pumped me up sooo much I went to the gym and run!!! F YEAH!!

The lead character is soooo charismatic and feisty! The actress who plays her flows effortlessly between vulnerable child and headstrong teen. Her acting is phenomenal. I was rooting for her from the first five minutes, and was on the edge of my seat as the movie twisted and turned. Beautiful, soulful, unsentimental film. Very highly recommended!

A carefully researched and authentic story whose message transcends ethnicity, place and time, exploring what family is if we are lucky enough to have one..

Briilaint debut. Stellar acting.

Filmmaking at its finest.

Best movie I saw this year!

Ms. Emanuelle's performance as Mo is certainly spectacular, but I don't think I've seen better screen acting in 2018 than Yahya Abdul-Mateen II's work as Darrel.
