  3. Sunset Baby


Dominique Morrisseau; dir: Jeffrey Hayden.

Sunset Baby highlights the collision of ideological conviction with the complexities of everyday survival in this story of a Black revolutionary’s fraught reunion with his adult daughter.. Sunset Baby follows Morisseau’s Confederates (2022), praised for “pull[ing] audacious shifts of timeframe and tone with power and finesse” (Time Out) and her “powerful” and “truthful portrait of human suffering, awakening, and transformation” (New York Magazine) Paradise Blue (2018).
