There’s a question that I, and most other African American men, ask ourselves, on some level, on most of the days of our lives:

“What do you see when you look at me?”

The new Netflix film Monster is a largely effective legal drama that sets out to answer that question.

Based on the novel by Walter Dean Myers and directed by Anthony Mandler, Monster details the story of a brilliant 17 year old film student who is on trial for a crime that he may or may not have committed.

Trust me: you don’t know how this story is going to turn out.
