Jenkins' one and only feature weaves living history, charged and messy, into a homespun, hopeful tale. It's impossible not to wonder what he might have done next.

Hollywood Reporter
Jenkins's spare, frank lyricism foregrounds the couple's tense discussions about the traumas of history, the weight of cultural memory, and the pressure of racial injustice; he lends the intimate tale a vast and vital resonance.

Rich in resonance and thoroughly revealing in its absolute truth, writer-director Jenkins delivered an absorbing black romancer that delves into the psyche of blackness and belonging.

The Critical Movie Critics
Rating: 3/4 --
The film's awkwardness is expressive of the pain and confusion of wrestling with truths that shake one's conception of identity.

Slant Magazine
What Jenkins is after in his 1982 film is a granular, micro regionalism, one that's measured in acres, surnames, and property lines...the film is filled with the pleasures of specificity.
