4.5
Intriguing set of vignettes centered on people living in/associated with a Harlem apartment building targeted for gentrification. The characters’ flaws are highlighted but with loving care; they struggle because they’re at the mercy of a racist & classist system.
Graphic: Racial slurs, Classism, and Racism
Moderate: Toxic friendship, Cursing, Alcohol, and Bullying
Minor: Homophobia, Sexism, and Sexual content
