Yelling to the Sky

(2011) dir Victoria Mahoney w/Zoë Kravitz, Jason Clarke, Antonique Smith, Yolonda Ross, Tariq Trotter, Shareeka Epps, Sonequa Martin-Green, Gabourey Sidibe, Tim Blake Nelson [94 min; Digital]
As her family falls apart, seventeen-year-old Sweetness O’Hara (Kravitz) is left to fend for herself in a neighborhood where her survival is uncertain. A sparkling performance from on-the-cusp-of-fame Kravitz highlights this remarkably confident directorial debut from Mahoney.
