Today's Black Movie Month spotlight is that of the 1994 romantic comedy/drama film The Inkwell. It would star Larenz Tate, Joe Morton, Suzzanne Douglass, Glynn Turman, and Vanessa Bell Calloway.
Here is a classic "coming of age" tale of a 16-year old boy on Martha's Vineyard in the summer of 1976. This was a movie that I think was not supported as much as it could have been, and it screams "real life story". The main character Drew is drawn out in such a vivid way that his character becomes a bit complex, and you almost forget that he is just a teenager. This film will definitely having you wanting more.
For me it had a vintage feel to it that made it very eye-cathing and engaging. I'm sure we all had a summer just like this one or very close!
