    This is grim, bleak material that at times is monotonous, but its woe feels authentic.

    Yelling to the Sky drips with a strange but sometimes moving nostalgia for environs its characters clearly want to escape.

    Yelling is a prosaic look at a hard life. Like Sweetness, the movie finds its way by instinct.

    It's disconcerting to watch Sweetness, tiny and light-skinned, assaulting Latonya, large and dark-skinned, partly because it bluntly if inconclusively underscores a crucial color divide that runs through this film like a throbbing vein.
