To Sleep With Anger (Criterion Collection)

In South Central L.A., the relative quiet at the home of Gideon (Paul Butler) and Suzie (Mary Alice) is interrupted by the welcomed arrival of an old friend from back east, the personable and sweet-talking Harry (Danny Glover). Their invitation to stay as long as he likes turns into a source of regret, as he starts to inflame tensions amongst the couple and their sons (Richard Brooks, Carl Lumbly). Charles Burnett’s memorable and effective drama also stars Reina King, Vonetta McGee, Sheryl Lee Ralph. 102 min.
