2020
Directed by Steve McQueen
This is an odd selection, as it is a part of anthology series called Small Axe. I wonder if people who are truly obsessed with the List will have to watch the entirety of Small Axe. What psychos! Now onto my entry number 1242.
The film mostly shows black people dancing together at house parties, like that scene in Dirty Dancing when Baby arrives with the watermelon. It's a nice change to see Black joy shared on screens, since a lot of films starring African Americans tend to showcase their miseries and pain.
So the music is good, but not much happens. But it's short, so worth a watch.
RATING: ***--
Interesting Facts:
The film takes its name from a popular musical genre in 1970s London, which was a blend of reggae and R&B.
