About Medicine For Melancholy
A love story of bikes and one-night stands told through two African-American twenty-something's dealing with issues of class, identity, and the evolving conundrum of being a minority in rapidly gentrifying San Francisco-a city with the smallest proportional black population of any other major American city.
Acclaim
"Enlightened and tenderly beautiful"
"Excellent...surprising and subtle...remind yourself, your roommates, your friends and family to see Medicine For Melancholy."
"Perfectly self-contained, the film is pure art from the first frame."
"Barry Jenkins' terrific debut feature, Medicine for Melancholy, is an intimate and sociologically astute study of a young African-American couple...remarkable...bold, insightful movie."
