About This Movie

Diamond is a rough yet gripping look at the life of this young basketball prodigy. The tone is heavy, suffused with an undercurrent of desperation that contrasts with Diamond's dream of a better future. The pacing drags a bit in spots, but it mirrors the weight of his circumstances, and the performances are raw and gritty, really pulling you into the struggles of a life marred by addiction and incarceration. What stands out is the unflinching portrayal of his environment, capturing the harsh realities without romanticizing them. It’s a film that lingers, asking tough questions about family, ambition, and the price of hope.

'Diamond' is a lesser-known film that hasn't seen a lot of widespread distribution, which adds to its intrigue for collectors. The scarcity of physical formats—particularly on DVD or Blu-ray—means that it tends to pop up in niche auctions or specialty stores. Collector interest seems to be growing, especially among those who appreciate independent dramas that tackle real-world issues, making it a potentially valuable find for the right enthusiast.
