Austin Cross and LAist film critics review this weekend’s new movie releases in theaters, streaming and on demand platforms — in three minutes or less!
Lamar Johnson and Aaron Pierre sit on a picnic table in a park at dusk, the small buildings and cell phone towers just silhouettes behind them. Johnson sits on the left, he wears jeans and a tan leather jacket. His elbows rest on his legs, his hands clasping each other in his lap. Johnson looks over at Pierre who sits in the exact same position wearing black pants and a red, blue, and white color blocked jacket. Pierre looks at the ground not meeting Johnson's gaze.
