About This Movie

B.L.B. dives into the gritty underbelly of New York City through the eyes of Jahlil, a young boy navigating the harsh realities of life in the Bronx. The film's tone is raw and unrefined, echoing the chaotic energy of the subway system. The pacing takes its time, allowing moments of stillness amidst the hustle, which heightens the sense of isolation that Jahlil experiences. There's a real authenticity to the performances, particularly from the child actor, capturing the essence of a boy trying to find his place in a world that often overlooks him. The practical effects and setting lend a palpable texture, making the subway almost a character in its own right. It’s a thoughtful exploration of childhood and the shadows that lurk in urban spaces.
