Anyone here see the movie "Barry" on Netflix?

It's about a young Barack Obama when he was a student at Columbia.

The actor playing him, Devon Terrell, does a good job capturing his speech and mannerisms.

It did feel a little bittersweet knowing he is on his way out and the absolute disgrace of a human being replacing him. But overall I thought it was a good movie.

Was wondering if anyone else has had the chance to see it yet. It's worth a watch if you have Netflix.

I resisted because, I think, it's the end of an era and I didn't want the melancholy (haven't we all had more than enough of that lately?). It's one that I will watch soon.
