I haven't seen the Netflix movie, but I quickly thought of the song with the same title from back in the day. 1984, I believe....:)

Yea, the film is based on Roxanne Shante. The girl who recorded a response to that record.

I did see the film. It was alright. She's got a pretty sad story but it's nice to see her getting some shine again so many years later.

I liked it. Wish it was a bit longer.

I agree. I think there were some elements in her story that could have been fleshed out a bit more.

I've got a lot of content on Netflix and tv that I'm trying to get caught up on but I definitely wanted to fit that film in as I was pretty interested when I saw the trailer. I also listened to an interview she did on a morning radio show I listen to on XM every morning and it interested me even more.
