I'm the kinda of person who enjoys watching low budget, critically acclaimed indy films. When I came across "Anne B. Real" on the wall of the video store, I was intrigued by the story. I didn't expect the movie to be that awesome, but with comparisons to "Girlfight" and "8 mile" I thought it was worth checking out.
I wasn't disappointed. The story was great and engaging and the characters were believable. I really like the perfomance of Janice Richardson as Cynthia. She was great and I hope to see her in more films in the near future.
The film does address a lot of issues without being to preachy. It touches on things such as sexism in the rap industry, being a product of your environmnet, and trying to rise above even when it seems the people closest to you are against you. However, the story also shows that one positive influence can be enough to give someone the boost they need to rise above.
