Missy Mar 5 It actually takes a lot to get me to the movies — which might sound surprising since my degree is in film/video. For me to show up, the story, cast, and production have to truly move me. When I learned that Wanda Sykes — who is already at the top of my list as one of my favorite comedians — was stepping into her first dramatic role, I was immediately intrigued. Then finding out the film was directed by a Black woman sealed the deal for me. The cinematography was absolutely stunning. Every frame felt intentional and it held my attention the entire time. The characters also brought a familiar, relatable energy that made me invested in their story. I never knew I needed to see Wanda in a dramatic role, but Tamika brought out a side of her that I would absolutely love to see again. Overall, Undercard was great. Highly recommend.

I was not previously familiar with Bentley Green, the young man that plays Wanda's son, but I thought he did an excellent job as well. Just a heartfelt story about family, betrayal and forgiveness.

Loved the characters, the mother son conflict and the acting. It was a good movie about struggle and overcoming to get to the top. I give it a A-/B+. See more Micki Mar 2 I caught a screening of Undercard yesterday at the AMC in Morrow with some friends, and honestly? It blew me away. I’ll be the first to admit I’m not usually a huge Wanda Sykes fan, but she was incredible in this—completely won me over. The plot is super tight and kept us guessing the whole time nothing about it felt predictable, especially that ending. To top it all off, we actually ran into the writer on our way out! Such a cool experience. Definitely go check this one out. See more Teresa Dowell-Vest Mar 2 Loved this film. Wanda Sykes' work as "No Mercy" was layered and drawn from a soulful place. Loved watching her work. Tamika Miller's direction kept the film moving forward at an exciting pace, not slowing even for the deeply emotional scenes. Beautifully shot. This film isn't simply ONE thing: it's a boxing film, it's a love story, it's an ode to motherhood in it various forms. The film centers a Queer, Black, Woman in a boxing film...on the strength of that alone, this film is different and works outside the boundaries of typical sports films troupes. Sykes' character struggles to balance so many competing issues in her life that the boxing match isn't solely in the ring. Often, she is fighting herself. It's a stellar film. Undercard is a love letter to anyone who dare survive all obstacles to pursue dreams, love and family. Great film. See more Read all reviews
