To make matters worse, his younger sister has been missing for years and it's tearing his family apart. Cast
BackgroundPolk initially tried to get the film made several years earlier, with Jussie Smollett cast as the young lead, however financing fell through.[3] When the funding came through years later, he was forced to re-cast because of Smollett's busy schedule on Empire, and struggled to find a black male actor who would portray a gay love story on screen.[3] However, he later met Julian Walker, who is openly gay, and chose to cast him despite his lack of acting experience.[3] Polk discussed, in an interview with BuzzFeed, the need for more stories featuring gay men who aren't white: "Through my years of filmmaking, we have seen the gay coming-of-age story from every possible white male point of view ... We’ve seen it over, and over, and over.”[3] ReleaseThe film had a successful run on the film festival circuit, winning awards at several LGBT-oriented festivals including Outflix Memphis, Atlanta’s Out On Film Festival, and the Crossroads Film Festival in Polk’s native Mississippi.[4] The film was the closing night gala screening for Los Angeles’ Pan African Film Festival (PAFF), where it won the Founders Award for Best Narrative Feature Film.[4] ReceptionBlackbird received mixed reviews from critics upon release; on film review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes, only 25% of critics reviewed the film positively.[5] The Hollywood Reporter called it "too all over the map to take seriously".[6] The New York Times said that the film has an "impressive, palpable conviction", although it ultimately "suffers from soapy excesses and narrative disjunctures".[7] Slant Magazine wrote: "Blackbird is, like its main character, too naïve to understand or, at least, to deploy the reparative powers of camp".[8]See also
