Rude

Jamaican Canadian director Clement Virgo’s landmark debut—the first Canadian dramatic feature made by an entirely Black crew—is a searing, poetic portrait of marginalized souls fighting to overcome their demons. Over the course of one Easter weekend in a Toronto housing project, three desperate people—a drug dealer turned artist (Maurice Dean Wint) trying to go straight; a boxer (Richard Chevolleau) coming to terms with his sexuality; and a young woman (Rachael Crawford) coping with a breakup—confront the darkest parts of themselves while searching for a path forward.
