5 stars Surprising Turn of Events
I loved this movie ... but easy for me to say as my son-in-law plays Isaac and my husband has a small bit-part at the beginning! Still surprising and enjoyable! Worth a look!

4 stars Watch it until the end...It is amazing!!
This movie caught me by surprise. A friend dragged me to go see ON THE DOWNLOW at the Miami Beach Cinemateque in Miami Beach about two years ago when I was visiting Miami. The Cinemateque was a really nice cute place where they showed art house movies. When the movie started I asked my friend why he dragged me to see this gang banger movie. He quickly told me to just watch. He had already seen it and thought I would like it. Well it was not long after that, that I was completly absorbed in the story. The film is clearly low budget but what happens is, you start to feel like it is really authentic. The grittiness helps. The actors were great and I will never forget the kissing scene between the two gang-bangers. It was honest, passionate, and really hot. Well after that I just sat and let it take me in. The movie had a profound effect on me. I have been waiting for this movie to come out on DVD and now it finally has. I recommend this film highly. Watch it to the end. It has a shocking ending.

On The Downlow review
DVD $11.29  4 stars
Bursting at the seams with clever cinematic ideas, Rodney Evans's BROTHER TO BROTHER captures the essence of contemporary black gay life in America by drawing parallels with the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s. Perry (Anthony Mackie) is a young gay student at Columbia University who moonlights as a worker in a homeless shelter. Feeling something is missing from his life, but unable to form the essential questions which will lead to the answers he so desperately craves, Perry unloads his existential angst onto the shoulders of his straight best friend Marcus (Larry Gilliard Jr.). Perry finds inspiration in the pages of a book on the Harlem Renaissance, and takes a journey back in time to meet some of the characters who dominated the neighborhood in the 1920s. First up is an encounter with the elderly painter and writer Richard Bruce Nugent (portrayed here with extreme pathos by Roger Robinson), who offers Perry a nostalgic foray into the history of black, gay culture. Bruce's stories are reenacted in black-and-white, and introduce Perry to esteemed figures such as Langston Hughes (Daniel Sunjata); Wallace Thurman (Ray Ford); Zora Neale Hurston (Aunjanue Ellis); and a younger incarnation of Nugent (played by Duane Boutte). Their words simultaneously capture the essence of the gay American ...
