Dec 19, 2021 Premature was a slow burn, which is fairly surprising given it's 80-minute run time. Despite being possibly light on material, the movie is gorgeously filmed and acted, with performances so genuine you ache right along with the characters when they hurt. Occasionally the dialogue is a little formal, especially for teenagers, but it's fairly easy to accept given the precocious and somber mood of the film. I wish director Rashaad Ernesto Green was able to incorporate the artistic passions of his two main characters to be more strongly tied to the movie's themes, rather than just a plot device to draw them together in the beginning.

It is difficult to keep a balance in your life. See more Oct 10, 2020 It was pure, real and raw. See more Sep 4, 2020 A finely depicted take on young black love in the Summer. The script flows like water, the performances are top tier and the tone is kept rich by its poetic-indebted nature. I was brought to tears multiple times, so emotionally it will tug at your heart. Feels good to see black love, no matter how it ends. See more Gina W @RT47387387 Sep 2, 2020 Great movie romance with a dose of reality. One song lyric said: I'm too young to act this old.

I love stories like this, about people who are sort of stuck in their current place in life, but know they're destined for something greater. Director, Rashaad Ernesto Green, shot this on 16mm film, I don't always pick up on stuff like that, but you can't not with a film like this. The look and dialogue sets up a very authentic atmosphere. The conversations between characters and the way the love scenes are filmed reminded me of "She's Gotta Have It" and other early Spike Lee work. Zora Howard's performance is incredible! She should be a star already. 8.6/10. See more Read all reviews
