In Elegance Bratton’s inspirational and moving retelling of his own story, a young, gay Black man (Jeremy Pope), rejected by his mother (Gabrielle Union) decides to join the Marines. He commits to doing whatever it takes to succeed in the military system that would cast him aside. But even as he battles deep-seated prejudice and the grueling routines of basic training, he finds unexpected camaraderie, strength, and support in this new community, giving him a hard-earned sense of belonging that will shape his identity and forever change his life.
“A powerful, poignant, and complicated look at what people will do for acceptance.” — Austin Chronicle
“It is the type of film — brave, raw and poetic — that will rightly put Bratton on the map as someone to watch, not to mention the standout performances of Jeremy Pope and Gabrielle Union.” — Associated Press
