Policeman Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck for… Black Lives Matter: watch John Boyega’s powerful speech at London’s Hyde Park protest Read More

Shola Amoo’s second feature is an accomplished and absorbing film, following the teenage Femi as he struggles to create his own identity and sense of place from disparate memories, experiences and expectations.

Lady Macbeth 5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

31st May 2017 by Sarah Leave a Comment

Lady Macbeth certainly isn’t a Victorian morality play but you could probably call it a Victorian intersectionality play. It is also a not-very-cautionary tale about power, including the power of silence. New bride Katherine (who has been effectively sold to her husband’s family) is much more in control than her Shakespearean namesake, and more ruthless, always crushing any… Lady Macbeth Read More
