If you Care, with an uppercase C, and love great cinema, ignore the negative reviews. They are way off the mark. Those people either do not understand this movie or do not care to understand it.
Highly affecting, distressing, and, ultimately beautiful work of Afrofuturism (I had tears in my eyes more than once). The film opens with a stylized depiction of the Igbo Landing and moves into a narrative consisting of both a semi-traditional plot and a symbolic depiction of the nightmare brutality of racism, and the resultant physical, psychological, emotional, social, and cultural destruction. It is both astounding and sadly easy to believe that this film was the first "theatrically distributed British feature directed by a Black woman" (Criterion).
Highly recommended, but note that the film depicts graphic acts of physical brutality, including against Black bodies. At the same time it overflows with beautiful imagery, dynamic camera work, and moving performances. Superbly written and directed.
