Charm City Kings (2020) by Puerto Rican director Angel Manuel Soto.
‘Charm City Kings’ (2020)
The director Angel Manuel Soto does similar wonders with familiar materials in this Baltimore-set street drama, which explicitly recalls such urban coming-of-age pictures as “Boyz N the Hood” and “Juice.” But Soto finds a fresh approach, taking an almost anthropological appreciation of the setting the film was inspired by the 2014 documentary “12 O’Clock Boys,” and aims for a similar lived-in authenticity while complicating his characters beyond their stock types. The performers do much of that work as well; young Jahi Di’Allo Winston is impressively assured as the protagonist Mouse, while the rapper Meek Mill finds just the right notes as Mouse’s troubled role model and father figure.
