It's a shame more people haven't figured out that they need to see this film. In ten years, it will be a cult classic.
The director's debut features Idris Elba, before he became a planet. Support black cinema, support honest cinema - this is a fantastic film, with a point of view. Don't be afraid to be the first in your family; share it with your friends.
I have been lucky enough to speak with the man, and his insight and vision are gems in the wild. The lead reminded me of a young Jeffrey Wright.
Felt a bit like Spike Lee in a new era. Militant Black Wes Anderson, with a sense of irony. Not a comedy - but I laughed.
