We Grown Now
A clear-eyed, nostalgic remembrance of the dizzying heights of childhood, WE GROWN NOW is a lovely and lyrical look at a time when everything was new and fresh and worth exploring. [ United States. 2024. Directed by Minhal Baig. in English ] Along with his mother Dolores (Jurnee Smollett) and grandmother Anita (S. Epatha Merkerson), 12-year-old Malik (Blake Cameron James) has lived in Chicago’s Cabrini-Green public housing complex all his life. The same is true for his best friend Eric (Gian Knight Ramirez) and together the boys know every nook, stairway and rooftop — all of these a playing field for their adventures. But change is intruding on their idyllic childhood. Drugs and crime are seeping into the neighborhood and, when a sudden tragic event shakes the families, the children’s future in the only community they've ever known becomes uncertain. Anchored by astonishing performances from young newcomers James and Ramirez, WE GROWN NOW serves as a rich and textured portrait of friendship as well as a soulful and poignant tale of boyhood innocence, social change and the fight to hold on to optimism.DramaPT1H33MPG2024-04-26Blake Cameron James
