Triangle Drama # 16

Black'n'White movies with a big heart
+ glimpse in the eyes
about characters struggling for love, wealth or just acceptance
a bit distant from ordinary social networks

I review each aspect through scale -3, -2, -1, 0, +1, +2, +3
Total possible is +21 for the very most promising
while -21 can still be a movie worth watching
Rather than judging I'm just trying to see the dynamics
