There are no current or future screenings planned for this film.

“It offers an unusual perspective on female alienation and the desire for emotional attachment, while intelligent questions about gender are never far from the surface. Stylishly shot and bursting with visual and sexual energy, this is confident Black women’s filmmaking and an eloquent tribute to the girl with the permanently grazed knees — and about time too.” —Time Out 

All’s fair in love and basketball. Two childhood friends (Sanaa Lathan and Omar Epps) turned lovers struggle to stay on the court of their beloved sport as they pursue their romance and hoop dreams. A layup from writer-director Gina Prince-Bythewood in her feature film directorial debut. In 35mm.
