A poetic, emotionally expansive father-son story about Black family, grace, imagination, and the hope that love can transform even the most fragile relationships into something more healing and beautiful.






People who caught this father-son drama are calling it a genuine, beautiful experience across the board. The story of Lil Ant and his family, and the hope that love can heal them, lands as perfectly told, strikingly original, and visually stunning. While director Walter Thompson-Hernández gets a lot of credit for his poetic vision, reactions show the cast is a standout, especially Danielle Brooks. A small handful of viewers didn’t connect with a subplot about seeing a character as a Greek god, but that doesn’t dim the overwhelming warmth and praise for the film.
The trend appears once there are a couple of scoring runs to compare.
