Timing can't be predicted, so thankful that Coog exists as a filmmaker. Cus he is the reason why I want to be one.

[@SoBoss300]

There's no artist I look up to more than this man. His thoughtfulness is so inspiring

[@2thehuman]

Same! I absolutely agree!

[@dynamicpisces]

He’s so beautiful and sensitive and emotional and talented! I just want to hold that man to my bosom! Protect his heart o’lord!🥰🥰

[@mox9076]

He's humble. I love this man. I wish him so much success whatever he does.

[@folarinosibodu]

You can feel his immense empathy in all his films. It's so palpable.

[@kayhunte]

Ryan was crying and I was crying right along with him. This was wonderful.

[@chandrafreeman7712]

I wept the entire second half. I can’t help but wrestle with how much of my own trauma and failed identity prevented me from dreaming or believing in myself😢. Life…. Thank you Mr. Coogler! Your transparency and vulnerability was so moving. I can’t help but to come to face with my own self, my own fears, and deferred dreams.
