‘Ricky’ Review: Stephan James Steals The Show As A Struggling Ex-Con – Sundance Film Festival
‘Ricky’ review: Stephan James steals the show as a struggling ex-con – Sundance Film Festival
The clincher comes when Ricky steals his brother’s car, driving it without a license and insurance, and, after building to an almost unbearable level of tension, the story takes a shocking and quite unexpectedly violent turn. Though it is obviously heightened for narrative purposes, the drama here is never forced, and it is not reassuring to see, over the end credits, that the fictional Ricky’s plight is based on many, many similar real-life stories—black and white, male and female. Title: Ricky Festival: Sundance(US Dramatic Competition) Sales agent: Sunshine Sachs Morgan & Lylis Director/screenwriter: Rashad Frett Cast: Stephan James, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Titus Welliver, Maliq Johnson, Imani Lewis, Simbi Kali Running time: 1 hr 52 mins
