Thoughts on The Outside Story
Thoughts – The Outside Story is a drama that will show the importance of making relationships around your neighbours, showing that being alone can drive people crazy, but knowing the neighbours are there can help improve that way people see life. The movie will use the New York setting to show how many different cultures from around the world can come together to show improvements in life quality. Brian Tyree Henry is wonderful to watch in the leading role, showing the awkwardness of the first interaction with the strangers, before coming out of his shell once the conversation roles, being easy to relate to all around. This is a truly enjoyable movie that is one that has plenty to say with the limited time span of the wait to be let back into an apartment.
Final Thoughts – The Outside Story is an enjoyable engaging movie that is well worth the watch.
