Medicine for Melancholy - Official Trailer

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.

THIS MOVIE WAS GREAT! I SAW IT LAST NIGHT IN LOS ANGELES AT THE LAEMMLE. IT IS REFRESHING AND VERY REAL...WITHOUT FRILLS!

Exactly!it's so cool that this doesn't fit the stereotypical Tyler Perry movies that african americans are in.Especially with the Indie soundtrack to this movie.This movie seems to really apply to everyone

@Taylor500J ass hole u just ruined it for me....

[Taylor500J]

my favorite seen was after they when through the little water fall and up until the merry go round part. I loved the music. Overall good movie. I liked how it all came together. Exactly why I love indie films, no stupid, I'm going to break up with my boyfriend over you and we will live happily ever after. Though I would have liked the two to have been together in the end. But I rather like the way it ended.

First black film I've seen in a minute that didn't completely bore me. The dialogue was great and Micah acts like a real bike courier.

The dialogue was really natural. I like how it revealed a conscious black man's perspective on interracial dating, and really only implied that the sister was dating a white man. It was realistic all the way to the end. Great story.

[cuzitsnecessary]

good movie! i liked how the writer turned the race issue around on the black man and have the black woman be more of the conscious. usually when we watch movies or any media, ppl like to make seem as if black women are the only ppl to have an issue. so kudos to the writer for turning it around.

I saw this movie last night at home. It was amazing and beautiful. It was a movie about black people without the glorification of and focus on black pathology. I kept waiting for something horrific and terrible to happen, but nothing ever did. This film gave a peek into the lives of an average, young African-American couple.
