“How nice it is to be shown what we rarely ever see. RaMell Ross’ exceptional first feature Hale County This Morning, This Evening is a brief, beautiful snapshot of a place and its people; and a rare depiction of ordinary black communal life. The documentary takes the lives of two young men (college basketballer Daniel and new father Quincy) as a starting point from which to draw a loose, lyrical cross section of a community in Hale County, Alabama. Shifting between friends, family and the environment the two men inhabit, it depicts the everyday activities of this small sub-sect of the area’s population with poetic panache.”
