Plot Summary
In this gripping urban drama, rising star Zoe Kravitz plays 17-year old Sweetness O’Hara, the daughter of an African American mother and a white father, who is struggling to find her place in a rough inner city neighborhood. Her father is either absent or abusive; her mixed race background makes her an outsider; and drugs and violence abound. Sweetness finds herself in a downward spiral of drug dealing, shoplifting and fights with a bully (played by Gabourey Sidibe, PRECIOUS) before a series of events leads her to rethink her life and to explore her options for a fresh start...

Top Critics' Reviews
Fresh: Not much happens in story terms, but the film swirls with emotions that make it by turns grim and amusing, heavy and light, obvious and vague.
Rotten: Strong on texture but taxingly light on narrative.
Rotten: Little more than a resume film for all involved, it certainly feels more Park City than Bushwick.
Rotten: Mahoney barely explains her characters' circumstances, which makes the movie obliquely intriguing. But whenever the story comes into focus, it's revealed as fairly conventional.
Customer Reviews
Deep and engaging!
'Yelling To The Sky' was a difficult story to tell however was brought to life wonderfully.
Yelling to the Sky
I THOUGHT THE STORYLINE WAS OKAY. FOR THE MOST PART, I GOT IT AND UNDERSTOOD THE BASES. 6.99 FOR THE MOVIE IS A BIT MUCH…
