This is based on the memoir by the real mother (and partially on the titular journal).

The narrativeThis is based on the memoir by the real mother (and partially on the titular journal). She was a New York Times writer (Chanté Adams), who strikes up a relationship with an attractive, noble soldier (Michael B. Jordan). The narrative continually moves around in time, from their first meeting to many years later, when the son is a teen. Each piece adds or explains an inevitable plot point to build their bond, with the Dad’s journal serving as inspiration. Jordan once again dominates every scene with his charismatic appeal and undeniable depth. Considering that Denzel Washington was the director, some of his style shows up in Jordan’s performance.

Seems as though production highlighted the meaning of the typical Black women facing underlying issues which surfaced from her Father's prior affairs against his wife; and repeating the same vicious cycle, herself, in her own relationship. All in all, the Black woman becoming the unwed, childbearing, significant other left with nothing besides shattered memories of the life she could've had with 1st SGT Charles Monroe King (if he married her). Relationship seemed forceful, demanding, and slightly bitter on Dana's behalf.… Expand
