Bassett leaves a game DaCosta on the sidelines, only trotting her out to recreate performances that look cheap and feel alarmingly like filler. [16 Jan 2015, p.71]

Though DaCosta and Escarpeta each creates a sympathetic character--at times, the picture feels meant to make you forget you ever saw "Being Bobby Brown"--they lack chemistry. For all the script insists otherwise, their love, and thus the film about it, feels something less than necessary.

Bassett’s direction is more than competent. She clearly has the instincts to tell a good story and elicits superb performances to do so. Her pacing is off, and some of the scene changes too abrupt, but Bassett knows what she’s doing when it comes to actors, which becomes paramount when working with an uninspired script.
