"One of the 50 Coolest Websites...they simply tell it like it is" - TIME
The Inkwell | 1994 | R | - 7.1.7
Comedy/drama with Larenz Tate as a poor black boy in the seventies trying to unearth his manhood.
SEX/NUDITY 7 - A man's bare behind on a nude beach. A very obese fat woman seen covering her private areas as she is ridiculed. Lots of making out and implied sex. Many explicit sexual discussions between a father son. A few condom scenes.
VIOLENCE/GORE 1 - A former Black Panther fights his Republican brother-in-law on a tennis court. Falls into the category of Don Knotts violence.
LANGUAGE 7 - F-words, lots of scatological language, anatomical references and insults.
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Adultery, losing your virginity.
MESSAGE - If you are black and become rich in America, you're no longer really black. Instead, you become soulless, immediately subscribe to The Wall Street Journal and become an alcoholic. No one can be sixteen, male and a virgin-and still be well-adjusted.
CAVEATS
Be aware that while we do our best to avoid spoilers it is impossible to disguise all details and some may reveal crucial plot elements.
We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and older reviews are not as complete & accurate as recent ones; we plan to revisit and correct older reviews as resources and time permits.
Our ratings and reviews are based on the theatrically-released versions of films; on video there are often Unrated, Special, Director's Cut or Extended versions, (usually accurately labelled but sometimes mislabeled) released that contain additional content, which we did not review.
