Crosses

About This Movie

Crosses is one of those films that just hits you with its rawness. It dives deep into the lives of two cousins who find themselves unexpectedly tangled in the world of codeine after a violent loss. The atmosphere is thick, almost suffocating at times, which suits the heavy themes of loyalty, survival, and the shadowy edges of family ties. You can feel the grit of Detroit throughout, and while the performances aren't flashy, they carry an emotional weight that resonates. The pacing can be a bit uneven—sometimes slow, but it builds tension effectively. It's really that blend of familial bonds and the harsh realities of street life that makes it distinct. Definitely not your run-of-the-mill drama. Worth a watch for sure.
