A bit of an outsider's cinema, everyday life infused with superstition and old history that keeps resurfacing. This has a sort of fatalistic element, which is characterised not by certain impending doom, but a feeling of being chased by one's shadow. And maybe we must live in that shadow.

Peculiar film with a standard family drama overlaid with a magical realism element. It felt like there were a lot of ways the movie could go but stopped short each time; the ending is satisfying but still leaves a lot of questions unanswered.

A film that's strictly about the dynamics of family, but without the sappy sophistry. Its quiet drama conveys understatement in strangely milquetoast fashion, wherein there is clear drama amongst the main cast but it's often treated as just a part of mundane life. The movie can often feel like there's no real progression to its conflicts and many scenes can feel pointless as a result of this style, but it's moody and dynamic enough that I can't say it bored me outright.

Such a strangely great film. The atmosphere is entirely unto itself, playing off of a kind of mythology without actually identifying it. In addition, there's also a pretty obvious reworking of the devil in the garden story from Genesis, all of which bring a mysterious spiritual quality to the piece. Burnett is among the most underfunded and under-appreciated writer/directors out there.

Não Durma Nervoso estreava há 30 anos no Sundance Film Festival. Isso é quase um Teorema da classe média negra sulista, Glover está excelente como usual como agente desestabilizador da vez. Curiosidade: Glover e Vonetta McGee interpretam pessoas de gerações diferentes, apesar de terem apenas um ano de diferença em suas idades, isso deve-se sobretudo à eterna cara de juventude da sempre deslumbrante McGee.

Such an intriguingly subtle and nuanced treatment of southern folklore and family drama that it always manages - with no little help from Glover's tremendous performance - to feel utterly foreboding and haunting without ever quite tipping over into the realms of the supernatural or the outright horrific. What's more, it shines a loving light on a black middle class that is, even thirty years after this film's unceremonious release, sadly all but unrepresented in film.

I'm not sure what to make of this movie. It's definitely social commentary with cultural depictions of generational gaps between black Americans, but it's so self-contained that I'm not sure what to take away from it. The core plot of a visitor bringing a family together may have been copied in other movies and TV episodes so the impact was lessened for me. Fav scene: the boy being absolutely terrible with his trumpet.

Folkloric rituals and mysticism pervade the film. Danny Glover is fantastic as the Mephistophelian personification of strife, agitating the undercurrent of familial tension to the surface. These are high concepts for a director so committed to a realist style of writing and filmmaking, but they are authentic cultural depictions. Burnett's characters are close to the earth, here in particular informed by a generational gap between southern roots and modernity in Los Angeles.

What starts as something seemingly simple, this film delves into some very serious subjects on family and the responsibility that comes along with that. This is powerful in a quiet sort of way.
