[@wandahwisdom5646]

@1:06 that's noble. Hopefully, he had enough presence-of-mind to hug the young actress too; the one that played you, Roxanne Shante`. She's the one that he *actually* manhandled on the set. just-a-thought.

[@CosmicIntel1003]

Nia Long played the hell outta her roll as Shante's mother..

[@monetmonroe4644]

Shawty Lo i agree

[@kay22100]

She did!!

[@thefactsaccordingtogabbie149]

Shawty Lo right, she made me think she's really was stupid and bitter😂 stupid for having that much faith in that man with the money. And mad bitter towards man's because she don't pick them right but going make it like they all ain't shit. Anywho Nia did that.

[@Omo21000]

LadyLioness yes she did an amazing job

[@myhextixmind8632]

THE HELL !!! she killed that.

[@EvaAnika]

Ms. Long was INCREDIBLE! Mr. Ali was GREAT! How do I know? Because I hated them -- HATED them both -- in this film. That's how well they played those roles. I don't know why some people complained that the film didn't have enough music ... it was a wonderful merger of her music and her personal story. Great job.

[@myhextixmind8632]

Yeah. I hated Ali in this film. I didn't hate Nia but only because I didn't view her as mean or anything like that. I can see why she would be seen that way, but I saw how deep her pain ran. She was extremely hurt and depressed it seemed and it came out bitter. It was hard for me to hate her mom for that. I hated Cross' nasty ass..

[@taubrooks4468]

Her mom wanted the best for her daughters tough love was seen a lot

[@Ho11is2Ho11ywood]

I really liked the movie but felt it ended way too abruptly. I was like "wait...that's it?"

[@joannearroyo8864]

Shante talking about the perfection of the moment for her viewing and the hope/expectation that it will touch someone to say enough it's the perfect time for me to get out. I believe it. God wastes nothing. God's love is made perfect in our weakness...Shantel gettin' her due & helping others too! Perfection.

[@ryank.douglas3690]

1:20- 1:50 She was named Shante & Born to play Shante. Fate, destiny & Sweet Irony. Kind of like the young brother Denzel Whitaker, Who later starred in movies WITH Denzel Washington & Forest Whitaker (Training Day, The Great Debaters, Black Panther) I

Vlad, you have great interviews. thank you... one thing though, your channel isn't user friendly. It's hard to find the videos to watch them in sequence. I can't even find the full interview. I also try the search feature and scrolling through the Up Next column. Maybe it's me but it only happens when I visit your channel. Kinda cluttery but love love love the interviews.

Vlad, this was bad timing dropping this interview. You shouldve dropped this at least a few days before it aired on netflix. Still good interview.

[@Powerule23]

How do you know that the timing of his interview isn't based on factors beyond his control? Also, his interview(s) of Shante are promoting the movie. It's not like the movie is leaving Netflix.

[@ProdbyGrimeyred]

Powerule i get it but to hear this after seeing the movie seems out of place.

we had this interview 9 months before the movie dropped. if we had dropped it before the movie came out nobody would have known her story. this interview fills in the blanks
