Ryan Coogler's feature directing debut is outstanding in
all respects. Based on the final day of Oscar Grant's life, a life
tragically and outrageously cut short on New Year's Day in 2009, "Fruitvale
Station" is powerful, painful but it is also about the common humanity that we
share. Michael B. Jordan's performance as Mr. Grant is something very
special. He spares us none of Oscar's complexity and Mr. Coogler's
brilliant direction eschews the politics surrounding Mr. Grant's death at the
hands of a Bay Area Rapid Transit police officer at the aforementioned station
in Oakland, California. Octavia Spencer and Melonie Diaz are also amazing
as Oscar's mother and girlfriend respectively. Also memorable is Ariana
Neal as Oscar's daughter Tatiana.
Released July 2013. Rated R. One hour 24 minutes.
