From the producer of Get Out comes a superhero story like you've never seen before. Bo (JACOB LATIMORE, Collateral Beauty) is a young street magician who is left to raise his little sister after his parents pass away. To keep a roof over their heads, he takes on a job selling drugs for psychopathic drug dealer Angelo (DULÉ HILL, TV's Psych). When he realizes he's in too deep and that he and his sister are at risk, Bo uses his magic to find a way out in this inventive and original film.

Reviews

The MacGuffin

Allen Almachar

It's the little details that count, and Sleight is a strong example of that.

This could be a star-making turn for Latimore, who is effortlessly engaging in a layered role.

This is not a perfect film, but I don't expect that from a superhero film. I want solid characters, convincing acting and solid action. The fact that this film gives all of that while being centered in the black experience makes it a must-see.

A bold work of vibrant creativity, a solidly crafted film with a primal grittiness and an intimate, small scale story that's also as clever as hell.

It pulls off a balancing act between its grounded drama and some of its more outlandish aspects, concluding with a compelling piece of action filmmaking, the details of which shouldn't be spoiled.
