Review and Commentary
Overall
Our Rating (82/100): Positive (Worth Seeing)
Just as there is a silver lining or light at the end of the tunnel, Two Black Boys In Paradise pushes the idea that there can be joy even in the most trying of situations. Whether it is the homophobia or aversion of your community, the subjugation of the legal system, or even some form of racism, you can find joy. Which, while often portrayed as something you can find in another, before the short ends, you are reminded that you can also find it in knowing and loving yourself.
Thus leaving things in a place where you find yourself realizing you’re meant to be the silver lining, the light amongst the darkness, and the greatest love you can ever have.
