Medicine for Melancholy

not quite sure what it is that makes me want to watch this movie... maybe it's that one of the stars is Wyatt Cenac, a correspondent on the daily show... and subconsciously i believe that anything remotely related to that show is automatically brilliant...
or maybe cause the movie is set in San Francisco, a city i've recently become infatuated with since there is a possibility that i'm going to work there for a year...
or maybe cause it seems like the movie has an meaningful message that makes you think...
or maybe i'll just stop here and let you decide what you think...

"Medicine for Melancholy is a love story of bikes and one-night stands told through two African-American twenty-somethings dealing with issues of class, identity, and the evolving conundrum of being a minority in rapidly gentrifying San Francisco—a city with the smallest proportional black population of any other major American city."
