I Bring Joy (2024)
A simmering film noir
21 February 2024 - 1 out of 2 users found this review helpful.
Set against the backdrop of her boyfriend's fatal stabbing in North London (and featuring Top Boy's George Owusu-Afriyse) the film charts the journey of the ironically named main protagonist 'Joy' in her journey of revenge and ultimate redemption.
Paying homage to the grainy style and novel use of technology of Lynda le Plante's slasher 'Killer Net'' it draws such devices as the mirror scenes from Taxi Driver and The Shining to give us a glimpse into Joy's broken psyche and her battle with her conscience as the film progresses.
Subverting the traditional dichotomies of good/evil and hero/anti-hero, the film contains the types of subplots and unexpected twists that will keep you enthralled even after the film has ended.
