Southside with You

— Here’s a film (DVD) that should have been a short. There’s really only fifteen minutes of content in this re-imagining of the first date between Barack Obama and Michelle Robinson. It’s cute and nostalgic. Actors do an adequate job and the direction and editing are also adequate but there’s just not much meat on these rose-colored bones.
