Hollow Image (1979 TV Movie)
8/10
Good message, but flawed story
19 March 2023
A rare depiction of successful, young Blacks (like The Best Man 20 years later, although the 35-ish/40-ish characters in this film are somewhat older than those in that later film...note that Morgan Freeman's character is supposed to look older than he is because of heroin addiction). I was 22 years old when I saw this on TV and enjoyed it very much. Upon seeing it again on YouTube, I had a number of questions: Where were the parents of these people (Danny was said to be living in the same apartment but apparently it's his now). These characters are supposed to be 30 years old. Are all their parents dead? Why was it uncertain that Sweet Talk could get into a rehab facility that day, when the young girl that came in after him was told the bus would come for her in 20 minutes? It's also hard to believe that Ivy wouldn't have mentioned to Harriet at all that their mutual friend had been murdered. But a good story nonetheless.
