"Sweet Thang is a vibrant film that addresses important messages regarding our health and wellness in the most creative way imaginable. It is indeed a Black Love story, not so much in a romantic way but in an overall appreciative way of the beauty that lies in within the Black community as a whole- Thanks for a beautiful film" -W.

"Watching the movie Sweet Thang transports you into a world of the street hustle, from selling illegal substances to selling a legal substance. The movie opens up into a black middle class community with great instrumentals greeting you at the beginning. As we are first introduced to the star of the movie Sweet Thang who is played by the very talented Ms. China Colston but even before the camera starts rolling, the audience is told about a new illegal substance with a very familiar name but because of the movie's depiction of a street hustler you are kept wondering as we sometimes hear street narcotics being reported to having familiar over the counter names to avoid attracting the police. You are drawn further into the movie with great curiosity as the main character, Sweet Thang takes you through her neighborhood as she walks by a graffiti depiction of DJ Kool Herc, you know you're in the Bronx. You then quickly discover that she is selling the same substance that killed her mother in the same neighborhood she grew up in." -B. Phillips
