Twitter Capsule: Blue, yet somehow light and relaxed. Rarely do mourning stories get this much room to breathe. Modest in its visuals.

Second Capsule: This was the first of five features that debut writer-director Ava DuVernay would make this decade, each amazingly distinct from the others.

VOR:   Beyond being the intruiging origin-point for a rare career, this movie bears an engaging, off-center relation to characterization and narrative build.
