Critics

Audience

This coming-of-age drama follows several interconnected lives on Chicago’s South Side. At its center is an ambitious young man who dreams of opening a restaurant while struggling to balance the promise of a new future with responsibilities to his mother and teenage brother.

My take

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an intimate, realistic ensemble drama about community, family, and difficult choices; Not for you if you prefer tightly focused plots or consistently even pacing.
