This is a really interesting film. Parts of it follow the usual tropes of the rom-com, two people who don't like each other that much will eventually fall in love... Other parts are deeply dark, with two people on the run in a desperate attempt to get away. And the most interesting part is a subversive message about what white people might expect from black people when confronted with all manner of violent to casual racism. This movie plays genre roulette with the viewer and I cannot say more without spoilers, so go see for yourself.
