Billie- a lesbian art curator from Little Haiti- is stuck in a limbo, between her former lover; favourite artist; and mysterious new girlfriend.
One of which seems to have some suspiciously nefarious intentions.
Her former lover is toxic.
Her new girlfriend is clearly gaslighting her.
And her favourite artist seems to know more about her than she possibly could.
All of which comes on, as she begins to suffer from- what seems like- a progressively deteriorating neurological issue, that has her memory running in loops.
So...she's unable to rely upon her own recollection.
Putting her in a position where she doesn't know who to trust.
Some people in her life, seem to be trying to help her...while others are out to exploit her condition, in an attempt to manipulate her, for their own ends.
And it's not until the bizarre, villainous, twist comes around, that these convoluted series of events take on any sort of clarity.
With Billie, inevitably, taking the initiative to take fate back into her own hands.
As you might have guessed...it has something to do with Voodoo.
And an inherently toxic love triangle.
Though, why she particularly became the target...and what ends the villain is trying to achieve...are not exactly clear.
Unless, we are to assume, it's solely due to her proximity to their previous lover.
That being said, it's not an uninteresting story.
And it has an intriguing plot structure.
But it comes off a bit convoluted...especially at the beginning.
Before offering too straight up of an explanation.
Which kind of detracts from the element of mystery, in my opinion.
Though, considering it is only director Kelly Kali's sophomore feature...I think it will be interesting to see how she matures into a filmmaker going forward.
Because she definitely has potential.
But from an entertainment/engagement perspective...this one gets a "meh", from me.
4.5 out of 10.
